marker of inflammation - (Aug/14/2010 )

hi all

is nitric oxide(NO) a marker of inflammation?

thank you

not like that...

NO is also needed for angiogenisis, and survival,immunity, other physiological functions depending on the organ they produced. You better concentrate on interleukins (IL6 etc..)

It depends on the context, but in some cases yes. Here is a helpful paper:
