The Genji firefly, Luciola cruciata, is divided into two ecological types, the fast-flash and slow-flash types, on the basis of the interflash interval of mate-seeking males. To evaluate the evolutionary origin of the two types, 62 populations were examined by restriction fragment length polymorphis

Nitric oxide synthase-like protein (NOS) is shown to be present in specific regions of the central nervous system (CNS) of the cephalopod mollusc Sepia officinalis (cuttlefish). NOS activity, which is Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent, was determined by measuring the conversion of L-[(14)C]arginine in L-[

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

## Abstract Since NO production by NOS‐2 made by astrocytes activated by proinflammatory cytokines contributes to the killing of neurons in variously damaged human brains, knowing the mechanisms responsible for NOS‐2 expression should contribute to developing effective therapeutics. The expression
