Abstract excerpt
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS), characterized by enlarged pyloric musculature and gastric-outlet obstruction, is associated with altered expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). Here we have studied molecular mechanisms by which nNOS gene expression is altered in pyloric tissues of 16 infants with IHPS and 9 controls. A significant decreased expression of total nNOS mRNA was found by...
