Treatment of diseases mediated by the nitric oxide/cGMP/protein kinase G pathway

摘要

Disclosed are methods and compositions for stimulating cellular nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels (cGMP), and protein kinase G (PKG) activity for purposes of treating diseases mediated by deficiencies in the NO/cGMP/PKG signal transduction pathway, by administration of various compounds including alcohols, diols and/or triols and their analogues.
