Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to characterize neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activity and 5'-end splice variants in rat small intestine. nNOS was predominantly expressed in the longitudinal muscle layer, with attached myenteric plexus (LM-MP). The biochemical properties of NOS activity in enri...
