[ 1 ] - Effects of L-Arginine and L-NAME on Duodenal Histologic Parameters in Female Wistar Rats

Introduction: Nitric oxide (NO), as a free radical, involves in several physiologic functions in GI tract such as nerve impulse transmission and vascular tonicity regulation. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is the enzyme for the production of NO from L-Arginine which in turn inhibits by L-NGNitroarginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME). In the current work, we aimed to evaluate morphometric analysis of...
