N

Nitric Oxide

Full name: NO

A short-lived gaseous signaling molecule produced from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes. Regulates vasodilation, platelet aggregation, neurotransmission, and immune cell function. The nitric oxide system is a central proposed mechanism of BPC-157 — research suggests BPC-157 upregulates NOS activity, leading to increased blood flow and enhanced delivery of nutrients to healing tissues.
