Effect of competitive antagonism of NO synthetase on weight and food intake in obese and diabetic mice.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have suggested a role for nitric oxide (NO) in the regulation of food intake. The present studies were undertaken to examine the effects of the administration of a nitric oxide synthetase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), on food intake and weight loss. Two genetically obese mice, the ob/ob and db/db strains, and their lean heterozygote littermate controls, ob/c and db/c, served...
