Summary

This study checks if a special UV flashlight, often used to find pet urine or other fluids, can change nitric oxide levels on human skin. Researchers will measure nitric oxide from the ear, hand, or forehead during light exposure. The goal is to develop a simpler way to measure this important gas in the body. About 150 healthy people of all ages will take part.
