But there is more to the silent killer, as CO is sometimes called. It is produced by many cells in the human body, where its molecules play a crucial role in activating enzymes involved in controlling the dilation of blood vessels, and thus blood flow. Mice in which the gene for producing the compound has been knocked out develop faulty organs and die young. Exploiting this insight, researchers have successfully used CO to treat a number of ailments in lab animals. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
