Nitric oxide does not act as a direct vasorelaxant messenger in neurogenic vasodilatation but contributes to the activation of or transmitter release from afferent nerve fibres in response to irritants.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Challenges direct NO vasorelaxation in neurogenic responses; extends afferent activation hypothesis but remains preclinical and hypothesis-generating.
Holzer et al. (1994) studied this question.
