Evidences a(CHEBI:"nitric oxide") to bp(GO:"endothelial cell activation")

Because nitric oxide is known to prevent activation of endothelial cells and platelets, this nitric oxide deficiency promotes cellular activation.

In addition to cell-free Hb, membrane structural modification, externalization of phosphatidylserine,21 decreased cell membrane deformability,22,23 and increased endothelial adherence24 could alter vascular NO homeostasis.
