AB In a remarkably brief period of time, NO and CO have been recognized as
   putative neurotransmitters. These two novel messenger molecules have
   greatly expanded the criteria for candidacy of a chemical for the status of
   neurotransmitter and our notions about how synaptic transmission takes
   place. The involvement of NO and CO in several important aspects of
   neuronal function suggests that agents affecting the synthesis,
   transactions, and disposition of these gases are bound to have clinical
   relevance. [References: 211]
