Nitric oxide plays an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis. In this review, the
regulation of the three nitric oxide synthase isoforms in the cardiovascular system are
examined at molecular and cellular levels. In addition, recent information gleaned from the
use of NOS knockout mice are discussed.
