GlossaryEndothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS)

enzyme producing nitric oxide to relax blood vessels

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) is an enzyme found in the cells lining blood vessels. It produces nitric oxide, a molecule that helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. This enzyme plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health and is also involved in processes like wound healing and hair growth.
