The nitric oxide cholesterol connection can have a significant impact on your overall cardiovascular health. Nitric Oxide is the master signaling molecule of the cardiovascular system and plays a critical role in blood pressure and other cardiovascular functions. Cholesterol is the “glue” that holds your body together. Sometimes this “glue” and more specifically LDL or low-density lipoproteins can accumulate on the arteriole walls causing damage to the endothelial cells which leads to the cardiovascular disease called atherosclerosis.
