Abstract excerpt
Although it has been shown that endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-derived nitric oxide downregulates mitochondrial oxygen consumption during early reperfusion, its effects on inducible NOS (iNOS) induction and myocardial injury during late reperfusion are unknown. Wild-type (WT) and eNOS(-/-) mice were subjected to 30 min of coronary ligation followed by reperfusion. Expression of iNOS mRNA and protein...
