Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) are studying whether inhaling a gas called nitric oxide can help treat patients with COVID-19, or even prevent people from getting the disease.

Nitric oxide, a colorless gas that is naturally created in the body dilates blood vessels to speed up blood and oxygen flow. Inhaled nitric oxide is widely known for saving many oxygen-starved ...

Research exploring inhaled nitric oxide’s potential to treat COVID-19 is underway. Nitric oxide works mechanistically as “a naturally produced molecule that is critical to the immune response ...

Nitric oxide supplements don’t contain actual nitric oxide gas. Instead, they have amino acids like L-arginine, L-citrulline, and nitrates, which the body can use to make nitric oxide.

“The research linking the consumption of the precursor molecules to increase nitric oxide and subsequently improve markers of ...

Nitric oxide is being tested as a potential treatment for COVID-19 as part of a clinical trial underway at hospitals in Boston, Alabama, Louisiana, Sweden and Austria. The gas, which relaxes blood ...

Several device companies have recently received FDA's blessing for emergency expanded access to offer inhaled nitric oxide gas for treating COVID-19. During the 2003 SARS outbreak, ...

Nitric oxide, a gas well known to scientists for its myriad functions, has proven challenging to measure accurately outside the laboratory. A team of Princeton and Rice University researchers has ...

Nitric oxide is a gas naturally found in the body; its function is conveying information between cells. One of its main jobs is increasing blood flow by dilating blood vessels, and that’s why it ...

Nitric oxide is a gas composed of nitrogen and oxygen that's naturally produced by the body and is essential for blood vessel dilation, making it key for erectile function.

Nitric oxide gas helps “unglue” hemoglobin molecules that form long chains, deforming red blood cells and causing pain. A new study showed nitric oxide reduced the length of unnatural hemoglobin ...

Treating premature babies with nitric oxide gas improved their cognitive function at age 2 and lowered their risk of developing neurological complications such as cerebral palsy, according to a ...
