Abstract:
:Nitric oxide (NO) may play an important regulatory role in airway function. We have, thus, investigated in vitro whether epithelium derived NO may modulate cholinergic neurotransmission, via release of NO in guinea pig trachea, by using L-arginine (L-ARG), a precursor of NO synthesis, and L-N(G)-nitro-arginine-methyl-ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of NO synthase. Results show that L-ARG and L-NAME modify acetylcholine sensitivity in epithelium-intact smooth muscle preparations, suggesting a probable NO synthesis by tracheal guinea pig epithelium.
