Nitric Oxide: Comparative Aspects of Respiratory and Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Nitric Oxide: Comparative Aspects of Respiratory and Cardiovascular Homeostasis Society for Experimental Biology Symposium ᎐ 1st Announcement 10 th ᎐14th September 2004 Since its discovery as a crucial modulator of the cardiovascular system, nitric oxide ŽNO. has revealed itself to be of fundamental importance for metabolic and homeostatic control in virtually all areas of physiology. These wide functions have had tremendous importance for applied medicine and clinical settings. It has become clear that this small gaseous molecule has a very long evolutionary history and that many of its functions are ubiquitous to all living animals. There is no doubt that the endeavor to uncover the evolutionary and functional versatility of NO is of basic scientific interest, but it is also likely to uncover new functions of biomedical interest. Knowledge in the evolutionary and comparative biology of NO is, however, still fragmentary and few attempts have been made to integrate this area into a more general framework. This is the first symposium on broad comparative aspects of NO in metabolic, respiratory and cardiovascular physiology. The various sessions will deal with all levels of biological organization from NOs role as a subcellular allosteric redox modulator to its role in regulating organ and system functions.
