Nitric oxide synthase immunoreactivity and NADPH diaphorase staining are co-localised in neurons closely associated with the vasculature in rat and human retina.
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is widely distributed throughout the nervous system and is found in neurons which produce nitric oxide (NO). In attempting to elucidate the biological roles of NO in neurotransmission, vasodilation, and in neurodegeneration, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPHd) histochemistry has been widely used… (More)
