Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis during a severe low output state in sheep is associated with a better hemodynamic response, as evidenced by a greater vasoconstriction, and signs of less marked tissue hypoxia. It is likely that inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis in this model leads to an imbalance between the tonic relaxing action of nitric oxide and the influences of vasoconstrictor agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
