apigenin
Api activates BKCa and SKCa, leading to cell hyperpolarization that is followed by an influx of extracellular Ca2+; together with the release of Ca2+ from the ER, this rise in [Ca2+]i directly activates NOS; and the increased NO synthesis is then responsible for the inhibition of angiogenic endothelial cell functions by blocking Akt phosphorylation.

"Nitric oxide, even in the presence of oxygen, causes a metabolic shift to glycolysis, wastefully producing lactate from glucose" RPYou're over focusing on one point from an in-vitro study, when in fact apigerin has been shown to do the opposite of what you suspect (inducing glycolisis).
Dare to think.

It was just to mention that nothing is only white or black.
I give one example: Quercetin is well-known to have positive effects on a lot of markers. But it has also an impact on NO2. Must be taken into account. It doesn't diminish the other noticeable advantages. -
It really isn't even a matter of "black or white," but the lack of distinction. It is meaningless to throw around NOS without knowing what type in what context. Apigenin can increase eNOS and improve circulation. In a inflammatory context, it can inhibit iNOS, which is what we need to keep in check ultimately.

Yes, you're right. Well seen.
The priority is then to lower inflammation and to improve circulation. The target with NO2 is desired in this case. -

Yes, well said. It's the bigger picture that matters.

Apigenin inhibits xanthine oxidase so it can raise atp and lower uric acid.
