Abstract
CADENA FREIXAS, José L et al. Reflections on the relationships between science, technology, and society throughout the research process of nitric oxide. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1727-8120.
We approach the dialectical interrelation between science, technology, and society and the pre-clinical trials of nitric oxide. The studies on science, technology, and society help understanding the scientist’s ethical and social responsibility assumed since the beginning when the primary idea is elaborated to later become a project, until its termination with the diffusion and implementation of results. Within the Latin American context, we analyzed some of the social determining factors of this research. We support the necessary use of nitric oxide as a neuromodulator on the hyperglycemic response in the applied research phase.
Keywords : nitric oxide; basic research; therapeutic use; science, technology, and society.
