Abstract
The lack of a simple assay for the quantification of S-nitrosothiols in complex biological matrices has hampered our understanding of their contribution to normal physiology and pathophysiological states. In this paper we describe an assay based upon the release of nitric oxide by reaction with a mixture consisting of Cu(I), iodine and iodide with subsequent quantification by chemiluminescense. With this method we can detect levels of S-nitrosothiols down to 5 nM in plasma. Following alkylation of free thiols with N-ethylmaleimide, and removal of nitrite with acidified sulfanilamide, we were able to measure known amounts of S-nitrosoalbumin added to plasma or whole blood, with an inter-assay variation for plasma S-nitrosothiols of approximately 4%. Further studies showed that the mean concentration of circulating S-nitrosothiols in venous plasma of healthy human volunteers was 28+/-7 nM.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
