Eighty-one million Americans have cardiovascular disease, the arterial damage that leads to the heart attacks and strokes that account for 36 percent of all deaths in the U.S. But few people know that boosting the body's levels of a single molecule of nitric oxide can help prevent, control, and even reverse cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered "the atom" of cardiovascular health--a tiny molecule called Nitric Oxide. NO, as it is known by chemists, is a signaling molecule produced by the body, and is a vasodilator that helps control blood flow to every part of the body. Dr. Ignarro's findings led to the development of Viagra. Nitric Oxide has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system as well. NO relaxes and enlarges the blood vessels, prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels. Dr. Ignarro's current research indicates that Nitric Oxide may help lower cholesterol by facilitating the actions of statin drugs like Lipitor. The goal of the regimen presented in NO More Heart Disease is to age proof the cardiovascular system, keeping the vascular network clean and elastic through enhanced NO productivity. The plan is easy-to-follow without extreme lifestyle adjustments, involving taking supplements to stimulate Nitric Oxide production, incorporating NO friendly food into the diet, and a moderate exercise program.

This book provides a scientific analysis of the effects of foods and nutrients on the NO pathway in humans. Contributors to the book clarify novel chemical and biochemical connections between dietary intake and nitric oxide, particularly in cases of NO deficiency. In this context, the book addresses how specific foods can restore nitric oxide production and bioactivity—without medical interventions. A variety of evidential data is presented showing how NO-rich dietary elements are implicated in disease prevention and modulation. The book offers new knowledge for food technologists, food manufacturers, nutrition researchers, and healthcare practitioners. From the Foreword by Louis J. Ignarro, Nobel Laureate in Physiology/Medicine "The body of work contained in this volume, linking NO to food and nutrition, may have revolutionary implications in terms of developing strategies to combat heart disease and many other contemporary diseases associated with NO deficiency. Proving that a natural and inexpensive regimen of foods rich in nitric oxide activity does restore NO homeostasis can have profound effects on human health…The research presented in this text provides an important expansion of NO work…(and) Dr. Nathan Bryan, the editor…is to be congratulated for…communicating new knowledge and assembling the world's experts in their fields."

This book describes the role of nitric oxide in health and disease. Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules produced by humans and is considered the "Holy Grail" in cardiovascular medicine. Loss of nitric oxide production is what leads to chronic disease. Without healthy NO (Nitric Oxide) levels you cannot be healthy and prevent the diseases of aging. Nitric oxide is the secret to anti-aging. This book reveals the latest scientific and medical information so that readers can understand the importance of nitric oxide for optimal health. This eye-opening book teaches how the body makes NO, what goes wrong in people that can't make NO, and perhaps most importantly, how to restore production of this "miracle molecule."

The Nobel-Prize-winning discoveries of Dr. Ferid Murad brought nitric oxide into widespread recognition as the "star molecule" of the twentieth century, particularly in the area of human health. The actions of nitric oxide in the body touch almost every important aspect of physical well-being. For the first time, Dr. Murad and Dr. Daniel Chen present a clear description of the physiological functions of nitric oxide in language that everyone can understand. They then show us how to identify early signs of a broad range of nitric-oxide-related illness spanning the gamut from cardiovascular disease through neurological problems to sexual and reproductive issues. They reveal specific steps that we can take to improve and sustain vitality by promoting the action of nitric oxide within our bodies, and they show us how to maximize the amazing effects of nitric oxide so that we can live longer, happier and healthier lives.

Nitric oxide is a highly potent regulatory molecule with great pharmaceutical potential. This handbook fills a real gap in combining the chemistry of nitric oxide releasing substances with their practical applications in biology and drug design. It covers all classes of nitric oxide donors, from organic nitrates to nitroso compounds, guanidines and metal-NO complexes. In addition to a detailed treatment of the chemistry of NO donors, numerous examples of successful diagnostic and pharmacological applications are discussed, as well as further therapeutic targets for these substances.

Compiling, comparing, and analyzing research from a wide range of abstracts, journal articles, and Web sites, this reference examines the properties, function, and behavior of binary, ternary, and multicomponent mixtures in the presence and absence of solutes. The author uniformly presents extensive data on the properties of solvent mixtures and describes their structures and interactions. He details the impact of preferential solvation on the environment, action, and components of chemical systems. The book highlights experimental approaches to determine when, and to what extent, preferential solvation has taken place and models for organic, ionic, macromolecular, and biochemical solutes.

Nitrite and Nitrate in Human Health and Disease delivers a comprehensive review of nitrite and nitrate biology, from basic biochemistry to the complex physiology and metabolism of these two naturally occurring molecules in the human body. Well-organized and well referenced chapters cover the rich history of nitrite and nitrate, sources of exposure, and the physiological effects when consumed through foods containing nitrite and nitrate. The chapters are written by leading experts, all of whom share their research and perspectives in order to help define the context for benefits vs. any potential risks associated with nitrite and nitrate use, either through dietary ingestion or therapeutic dosing. This diverse collection of authors includes vascular biologists, physiologists, physicians, epidemiologists, cancer biologists, registered dieticians, chemists, and public health experts from five countries in both academia and government. Nitrite and Nitrate in Human Health and Disease provides a balanced view of nitric oxide biochemistry, and nitrite and nitrate biochemistry in physiology and in the food sciences.

In Say NO to Aging, physicians T. Barry and Arlene B. Levine answer the urgent question: How can we slow and reverse aging's relentless advance? Using stories and examples, the authors guide us through our bodies at the cellular level, showing how lifestyle choices affect the biochemistry of disease and aging. Mitochondria, telomeres, longevity genes, adult stem cells, and cell protection mechanisms keep us healthy for many decades, but they are not infinitely renewable. Say NO to Aging explains how the diseases of aging set in.Say NO to Aging introduces readers to nitric oxide (NO) – a tiny, but immensely important molecule that replenishes our non-renewable life resources and rejuvenates the blood vessels, heart, metabolism, and brain. We can delay aging with easy, yet powerful, lifestyle changes. Drs. Levine provide detailed recommendations on food choices, diets, exercise, and stress reduction practices. They explain how these changes slow the aging process-and protect us against many chronic and lethal diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The authors show how modern science has incorporated ancient wisdom that first posited an active life lived in harmony and moderation is the healthiest possible choice that says NO to aging.
