The role of nitric oxide in altering intestinal motility in lipopolysaccharide-injected rats : a morphological and functional assessment

Nitric oxide, a short-lived free radical and neurotransmitter, is responsible for decreased smooth muscle contractility in vitro. When in excess, NO can cause hypotension and is believed to mediate altered intestinal motility. Not enough evidence is available for morphological changes in gastrointes...
