.... The relaxing influence of mouse retinal tissue was assessed by placing a retina in close proximity to the precontracted aorta. This elicited reliable and reproducible relaxations in the aorta. Both the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor N ω -nitro- L -arginine and the soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor 1H...

... 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...

Ertuğrul Mirza; Sarper Karaküçük; Mustafa Er; Naci Güngörmüş; İnci Karaküçük; Recep Saraymen To evaluate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in ocular inflammation, tear nitrite and nitrates (NN) as NO end products were determined in 11 patients with Behçet’s disease (BD) and in 11 with non-Behçet’s...

...Jun-ichi Kogishi; Masayuki Akimoto; Michiko Mandai; Shoji Kuriyama; Michael O. Hall; Yoshihito Honda; Nagahisa Yoshimura Purpose: To investigate a possible role of the nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signal transduction system in phagocytosis of rod outer segments (ROS) by cultured retinal pigment...

...Hamdi Er; Abuzer Gündüz; Ahmet Cigli; Yusuf Turkoz; Mustafa Cekmen Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines such as interleukin 1β, interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R), interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α on aqueous humor after...

...Yoshimi Kawasaki; Takashi Fujikado; Jun Hosohata; Yasuo Tano; Yasuhiko Tanaka The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the contractile tone of Müller cells was investigated. Müller cells, isolated from the retina of chick embryos, were cultured on thin sheets of silicone. S-Nitro-N-acetyl- DL...

... < 0.0006 on day 3). The rate of the b-wave recovery in group 1 was inversely proportional to the time to establish complete reperfusion. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase during the initial phase of reperfusion may worsen the recovery of the b-wave following retinal ischemia, at least in part...
