Course content
The course provides professional development of the student and is aimed at forming his competence in understanding the role of reactive nitrogen and oxygen in biological processes. Particular attention is paid to the laws of nitric oxide metabolism and reactive oxygen species in the cell, the role of NO and H2O2 as signaling and regulatory molecules. The pathogenesis of diseases common in human populations is considered from the point of view of impaired metabolism of reactive nitrogen and oxygen and ways to correct it. The directions of selective influence on the corresponding enzymes and processes for the purpose of creation of modern pharmacological preparations are scientifically substantiated.
