Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity in the Pregnant Uterus Decreases at Parturition

The mechanisms that mediate changes in uterine activity from a quiescent state during pregnancy to active labor at parturition are unknown. Nitric oxide (NO), a potent mediator of smooth muscle relaxation, and its presence in the uterus is the subject of this report. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) acti...
