Summary

Dr. Nathan Bryan, PhD is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Bryan has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 18 years and has made many seminal discoveries in the field. He was the first to demonstrate and discover an endocrine function of nitric oxide via the formation of S-nitrosoglutathione and inorganic nitrite.

Dr. Bryan obtained his doctoral degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport where he was the recipient of the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Research. He pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine in the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. After a two year post-doctoral fellowship, in 2006 Dr. Bryan was recruited to join faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston by Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., 1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine or Physiology.

Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. You are listening to episode 419 of the podcast. I am your host, Danny Lennon. You're very welcome to the show. I hope you enjoy this. And for those you have been enjoying our recent episodes and sharing them about and posting on social media, thank you for that. A lot of our recent episodes seem to have struck a particular chord. So if that was

0:39.6

you, then thank you. And if you haven't had a chance to get to some of our recent episodes,

0:44.8

or maybe you're a new listener, or maybe you've missed some recent ones, it might be worth having

0:48.5

a check on our archive of podcasts in any app you choose to listen on and have a look and see if any of the

0:55.5

topics are of interest to you. Today we're going to be talking about nitric oxide, in particular

1:00.6

its role in human health. And I'm going to be talking to Dr. Nathan Bryan, who is an adjunct

1:06.3

assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas in the United States. And he's been involved in

1:13.4

nitric oxide research for the past 18 years or so and has made many seminal discoveries in that

1:20.6

field. For example, he was the first to demonstrate and discover an endocrine function of nitric oxide.

1:27.1

And he has, in the time since, published a

1:30.3

ton of other literature in that area, both looking at its impact in various disease states, which we're

1:34.6

going to discover today, as well as looking through potential applications through it in a

1:40.8

therapeutic sense and developing some inventions that may help there.

1:45.9

And we'll touch on that towards the end of this particular podcast.

1:49.6

Initially, Dr. Bryan completed his PhD at Louisiana State University,

1:54.8

where after that he followed that by going and doing postdoc training at Boston University School of Medicine

2:01.8

at the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute there. And then following that postdoc, he

2:08.3

eventually joined the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Today we're going to dive

2:14.6

into a whole host of issues related to nitric oxide in terms of what

2:19.1

it does within the body, some of the pathways of endogenous production, how it correlates

2:23.7

with various disease states, and what increases or decreases nitric oxide production.

2:31.1

And so hopefully this serves of some utility to you and you find this interesting.
