abstract：:In the present study we show the existence of a functional nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in rat liver mitochondria. The enzyme uses L-arginine (L-arg) to produce nitric oxide (NO) and L-citrulline, and is Ca2+-dependent. L-Arg analogues, N(omega)monomethyl-L-arg and N(omega)-nitro-L-arg, inhibit the enzyme, and D-argini...
