摘要:

在一个寒风凛冽的夜晚,一间紧闭门窗、燃着火炉的屋子里,神秘杀手一氧化碳潜入人体妄图夺取人类的性命。危急时刻,氧气大军击溃杀手。就在庆祝胜利之时,氧兄发现了他所在的人体竟然在产生一氧化碳!震惊之余,他想要一探究竟。在CO小弟的介绍下,氧兄了解了一氧化碳在体内充当信号分子,负责跑腿工作;控制脑中枢神经递质释放,负责开关阀门工作。最终双方互相和解,化干戈为玉帛。

关键词: 一氧化碳, 气体信号分子, 神经递质

Abstract:

On a cold, windy night, in a sealed, fire-lit room, the mysterious killer carbon monoxide sneaks into the human body in an attempt to take human life. In a time of crisis, the oxygen army defeats the killer. While celebrating his victory, Brother Oxygen discovers that the body is producing carbon monoxide! Shocked, he wants to find out the reason. After the explanation of the little Brother Carbon Monoxide, he learns that carbon monoxide acts as signaling molecules in the body and is responsible for running errands. He also controls the release of neurotransmitter in brain central, responsible for switching valve work. Finally, the two sides understand each other and turn swords into ploughshares.

Key words: Carbon monoxide, Gas signaling molecule, Neurotransmitter
