transnitrosylationEtymologyFrom trans- + nitrosylation.nounThe transfer of nitrosyl (or nitrate) groups between molecules“As mentioned above, different from the effects of the direct elevation of nitrite concentration in the plasma, the entero-salivary route of dietary nitrate/nitrite might enhance the availability of NO through the formation of S-nitrosothiols and its transnitrosylation to the other thiol residues of proteins, suggesting that, depending on the tissues and organs, separate metabolic pathways might ex”
