Abstract
We present here a brief description of the relationships among metals, nitric oxide metabolism, and ageing. In particular, we will discuss the interactions occurring between redox (copper, iron) and non-redox (zinc) metals and nitric oxide, the metal- and nitric oxide-catalyzed formation of thiol adducts (nitrosothiols, mixed disulphides) and the possible involvement of these species in the ageing process.
