Known as NO, nitric oxide is actually a colorless, oderless gas known as a “signaling” molecule.  A signaling molecule is defined as, “a chemical involved in transmitting information between cells. Such molecules are released from the cell sending the signal, cross over the gap between cells, and interact with receptors in another cell, triggering a response in that cell.”

Nitric oxide is also important in the chemical industry and is a toxic air pollutant produced by cigerettes, car engines and power plants. It was also declared “molecule of the year” in 1994 by the highly respected journal, “Science”.

Turns out appropriate levels of nitric oxide production in the body can be instrumental in protecting organs from damage.  But what does all this have to do with my friend Ron and having his leg amputated?
