Endothelial nitric oxide synthetase (eNOS) in astrocytes: another source of nitric oxide in neocortex.
The distribution of the endothelial form of nitric oxide synthetase (eNOS) was examined in the visual cortex of three species of primate and in the rat using immunocytochemistry. Labeled cells were found in both the gray and white matter. These cells were stellate in appearance and labeled cell processes were seen contacting blood vessels or the pia, suggesting that, by morphological criteria, ...

متن کاملPreterm Cervical Ripening in humans
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Despite the current treatment procedures, the incidence of PTB has not changed in the past thirty years. Incomplete understanding of the biological and patophysiological mechanisms underlying preterm delivery is the major obstacle to prevent PTB. Cervical ripening is necessary for vaginal delivery and understanding of...
متن کاملThe Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide/Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor in Atropine-Induced Vasorelaxation
Atropine has been used to block cholinergic neurotransmission in basic research. Large doses of atropine cause vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin. This effect is apparently unconnected with the antimuscarinic activity of atropine and seems to be due to a direct action on the blood vessels. It has been suggested that atropine blocks muscarinic receptors at low doses and it induces th...
متن کاملHistological aspects of cervical ripening.
There is a close relationship between the rate of the uterine cervix opening during parturition and the presence or absence of a completely ripened cervix. In order to learn the basic pattern of the ripening of cervix, histological and histochemical studies were performed on the human uterine cervix during pregnancy. It was noted that the collagen bundles disintegrated into fine fibers and also...
