Role of Endogenous Nitric Oxide Generation in the Regulation of Vascular Tone and Reactivity in Small Vessels as Investigated in Transgenic Mice Using Synchrotron Radiation Microangiography

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) plays a central role in regulation of vascular tone and reactivity. The purpose of this study is to clarify the basal tone and microvascular reactivity in eNOS-overexpressing transgenic (Tg) mice in vivo with a microangiography system usin...
