## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a major signaling molecule in the retina and CNS, with physiological roles in every cell type in the retina. Previous work shows that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) is an important source of NO in the vertebrate retina. There are distinct, active alternative
In this study, we assessed the effects of normal ageing on the number, distribution, and somal area of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPHd)-positive (NADPHd ฯฉ ) and tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive (TH-IR) amacrine cells in human and rat retina. By using a double-labell
The neuronal form of nitric oxide synthase (NOS-1) has been localized to several cell types in the retinas of experimental animals; however, localization in the human retina has not been definitive. By using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, we have compared the cellular expression and
Nitric oxide is a nonconventional neurotransmitter that is produced as needed by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NOS has been detected in numerous neural structures, including distinct populations of retinal neurons in a variety of vertebrate species. The purpose of this study was to identif
Nitric oxide signaling is implicated in olfactory and visual pathways within the insect brain. In contrast, little is known about the distribution and function of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the ventral nerve cord. This study uses NADPH diaphorase histochemistry to describe the anatomy of NOS-con
