Abstract excerpt
Evidence supports the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in ovulation, steroidogenesis, and atresia-related apoptosis. This study was designed to investigate the role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-derived NO in ovulation, oocyte meiotic maturation, and ovarian steroidogenesis using wild-type (WT) mice and mice in which the gene for eNOS had been deleted (eNOS knock-out). We observed that mature eNOS...
