Paper Abstract: Technical discussion of the discovery of how nitric oxide acts in the human body. Its value in treating cardiovascular disease. Paper Introduction: In 1998, three American scientists were awarded the Nobel prize for Physiology and Medicine for their discovery that nitric oxide, a common gas in air pollution, transmits signals within the human body (Maugh, 1998). The discovery was hailed as one of the most important in the history of cardiovascular medicine, and was predicted to lead the way to treating high blood pressure and heart attacks. It led to the development of Viagra, to a new treatment for newborns with dangerously high blood pressure in their lungs, and to drugs for the treatment of shock. The signaling function of nitric oxide influences virtually every organ system in the body. The discovery that nitric acid produced by one cell could alter the function of other cells is an entirely new principle for signaling in biological systems. Previ Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below. However, the text is somewhat scrambled. We want to give you as much information as we possibly can about our papers and essays, but we cannot give them away for free. In the text below you will find that while disordered, many of the phrases are essentially intact. From this text you will be able to get a solid sense of the writing style, the concepts addressed, and the sources used in the research paper.
