Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator of liver physiology and pathophysiology. NO is generated by three isoforms of nitric oxide synthases (NOSs): neuronal NOS (nNOS; NOS1), inducible NOS (iNOS; NOS2), and endothelial NOS (eNOS; NOS3) [1]. NOS catalyzes the oxidation of L-arginine to NO and citrulline [2].
Detailed explanation-2: -Cirrhosis is often associated with chronic anemia. Up to 70% of cirrhotic patients have reduced hemoglobin levels.
