Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous molecule acting as a messenger in both the peripheral and the central nervous systems. NO affects synaptic activity by modulating neurotransmitter release and/or receptor function. We previously observed that NO-active compounds modify the bioelectric activity of basal
This MiniReview is focused on the nature of intercellular signalling along the endothelium that helps to co-ordinate blood flow control in vascular resistance networks. Vasodilation initiated by contracting skeletal muscle ascends from arterioles within the tissue to encompass resistance arteries up
Definition of MICROIONTOPHORESIS: a process for observing or recording the effect of an ionized substance on nerve cells that involves inserting a double micropipette into the brain close to a nerve cell, injecting an ionized fluid ...
