Catechins help prevent oxidation of LDL, increased nitric oxide release, and effectively lower blood pressure (2). (drjockers.com)
Results: We show that galanin, a neuropeptide expressed in the small intestine, decreases duodenal contraction by stimulating nitric oxide release from enteric neurons. (molecularmetabolism.com)
This is associated with modification of hypothalamic nitric oxide release that favors glucose uptake in metabolic tissues such as skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue. (molecularmetabolism.com)
