Global transcriptomic profiling of nitric oxide-mediated neuronal death

Nitric oxide (NO) is implicated in the pathogenesis of various neuropathologies characterised by oxidative stress. NO has been reported to be involved in the exacerbation of oxidative stress by various mechanisms, including protein modification, genotoxic damage and elevated production of reactive oxygen species resulting in deregulation and disruption of cellular homeostasis.
