Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle constitutively expresses both the type I (neuronal) and type III (endothelial) isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We tested the functional importance of type III NOS using skeletal muscles with similar levels of type III NOS expression (diaphragm and soleus) from wild-type, heterozygous, and type III NOS-deficient littermate mice. Muscles were incubated at 37 degrees C in Krebs-Ringer...
