Every age-related disease and every chronic disease—whether it manifests in the kidney, the brain, the heart, or the liver—has a vascular component, explained Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D., an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. Bryan says that the common trait that they all share is a lack of oxygen-rich blood reaching a part of the body and this is dependent on nitric oxide….
