Description
Summary:Timo M. Buetler , Alexandra Krauskopf and Urs T. Ruegg School of Pharmacy, University of Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Superoxide is known to affect vascular physiology in several ways and has also been recognized to contribute significantly to vascular physiopathology. Here we discuss the emerging role of superoxide as an essential signaling molecule in normal physiology.
