Dr. Lerner and Nitric Oxide Experiments

[Guest guest]

To anyone who has carefully followed Nitric Oxide experiments..

I just read this on the NRS website:

Dr. Ethan Lerner, associate professor of dermatology at Harvard

Medical School, was awarded $25,000 to study the potential role

of nitric oxide, a molecule produced by virtually all human

cells, in causing rosacea. Nitric oxide can make the blood

vessels open more widely, causing skin to appear red, and can

also lead to inflammation -- both symptoms of rosacea. He will

study whether the enzyme that makes nitric oxide and the gene

that produces this enzyme are elevated in rosacea patients.

I know the results of his experiment were not very promising, but

I always thought that meant that he was unable to get NO

inhibitors to properly treat cea.. but it says in this blurb

that his experiment was just to test whether or not Nitric oxide

is elevated in rosacea patients. Does this mean that even the

answer to the question of whether or not cea sufferers have

increased levels of Nitric Oxide in their blood is also still

unknown?
