A decade since Nitric Oxide research won the Nobel Prize - BNT paves the way for the future.
BNT, Dr.NO's Desk, Go Green 3 Comments »Featured above is a news clipping from 1998, when NO researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine. It’s been 10 long years. The future of Earth and mankind is at the crossroads. BNT Technology can definitely pave the way for a new era of green living.
An excerpt is reproduced below from the Nobel website about the revolutionary discovery of the health benefits of Nitric Oxide (on which BNT is based):
Importance in medicine today and tomorrow
Heart: In atherosclerosis, the endothelium has a reduced capacity to produce NO. However, NO can be furnished by treatment with nitroglycerin. Large efforts in drug discovery are currently aimed at generating more powerful and selective cardiac drugs based on the new knowledge of NO as a signal molecule.
Shock: Bacterial infections can lead to sepsis and circulatory shock. In this situation, NO plays a harmful role. White blood cells react to bacterial products by releasing enormous amounts of NO that dilate the blood vessels. The blood pressure drops and the patient may become unconscious. In this situation, inhibitors of NO synthesis may be useful in intensive care treatment.
Lungs: Intensive care patients can be treated by inhalation of NO gas. This has provided good results and even saved lives. For instance, NO gas has been used to reduce dangerously high blood pressure in the lungs of infants. But the dosage is critical since the gas can be toxic at high concentrations.
Cancer: White blood cells use NO not only to kill infectious agents such as bacteria, fungi and parasites, but also to defend the host against tumours. Scientists are currently testing whether NO can be used to stop the growth of tumours since this gas can induce programmed cell death, apoptosis.
Impotence: NO can initiate erection of the penis by dilating the blood vessels to the erectile bodies. This knowledge has already led to the development of new drugs against impotence.
Diagnostic analyses: Inflammatory diseases can be revealed by analysing the production of NO from e.g. lungs and intestines. This is used for diagnosing asthma, colitis, and other diseases.
NO is important for the olfactory sense and our capacity to recognise different scents. It may even be important for our memory.
Dr.Chandrasekhar has carried the findings further with BNT and demonstrated its applications in the food preservation industry, as a bio-shield, smoke filter etc.
