abstract：:Nitrogen dioxide (*NO2) is an oxidizing free radical which can initiate a variety of destructive pathways in living systems, and several diseases are suspected to be connected with both exogenously and endogenously formed *NO2. Peroxynitrite (ONOO-/ONOOH) is believed to be an important endogenous source of *NO2 radica...
