Abstract

The human body has only a limited toolbox to prevent and control acute and chronic diseases. A important cell type involved in our immune protection is the monocyte/macrophage which possesses a major inducible chemistry linked to the excessive possible production of gaseous free radical nitric oxide (.NO) produced via nitric oxide synthase 2 (inducible NOS2). In addition, these activated cells can produce considerable amounts of the gas superoxide which is oxygen with an unpaired electron (.O2-). When these two free radical substances react together, they produce a peroxide known as peroxynitrite (OON=O-) or [PN]. Under acute conditions- smaller amounts of PN are produced and under chronic inflammatory condition extensive amounts are produced.
