title = "Modulation of autonomic neuroeffector transmission by nitric oxide-like activity in guinea-pig smooth muscle",
abstract = "A possible neuromodulator role of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) formed from the amino acid L-arginine in guinea-pig ileum, pulmonary artery and taenia coli was studied using N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA). L-NMMA enhanced nerve-induced contractions in the ileum and pulmonary artery whereas it partially inhibited the relaxations in the taenia coli. This indicates that endogenous NO, or a similar entity formed from L-arginine, exerts neuromodulatory effects in these tissues, lending further support to the hypothesis that NO is important for intercellular communication. The neuromodulatory effect of NO is probably exerted via both pre- and postjunctional mechanisms.",
