bp(MESH:Vasodilation)
Carbon monoxide has vasodilatory, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, whereas bilirubin, the product of biliverdin reductase, is an antioxidant (Baranano et al, 2002). PubMed:25307023
This could be explained by the finding that CO induces vasodilation by binding to the heme-protein guanylyl cyclase [67]. PubMed:26368565
Thus, the antioxidant, anticoagulant, anti-proliferative and vasodilating effects of the HMOX1 and biliverdin reductase systems probably compensate for the nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, vasoconstrictive, proliferative, inflammatory and pro-oxidant effects of circulating free haemoglobin, haem and haem-iron, which are discussed below (Rother et al, 2005).
