Abstract excerpt
1. The present study was designed to examine the possible role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in regulation of leukocyte - endothelial cell interactions in the absence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), using intravital microscopy of the cremasteric microcirculation of eNOS(-/-) mice. 2. Baseline leukocyte rolling and adhesion revealed no differences between wild-type and eNOS(-/-) mice in...
