... was blocked by an intravitreal injection of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, N-nitro- L -arginine methyl ester ( L -NAME). In this study, we investigated the effect of L -NAME on LIM in chicks. Method: The left eyes of 6-day-old chicks were injected with 30 µl of nontoxic concentrations of L -NAME...
