Expression of cytochrome P-450 and albumin genes in rat liver: effect of xenobiotics.

abstract：:Bacterial NO synthase (NOS)-like proteins such as that from Bacillus subtilis (bsNOS) share a high degree of structural homology with the oxygenase domain of mammalian NOSs (mNOSs), but biochemical studies have yet failed to establish that they are specifically capable of producing NO.
