Perinatal N(G)-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester administration decreases anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in adult mice [PDF]
Objective: We hypothesized that perinatal manipulations of the nitrergic system would affect adult animal behaviors. Methods: We tested this hypothesis by perinatally administering N(G)-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-specific antagonist ...

Tadalafil Improves L-NG-Nitroarginine Methyl Ester-Induced Preeclampsia With Fetal Growth Restriction-Like Symptoms in Pregnant Mice [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND We investigated the efficacy and mechanisms of tadalafil, a selective phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor, in treating preeclampsia (PE) with fetal growth restriction (FGR) using L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced PE with FGR in pregnant mice as our experimental model.

Effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors,
The effects of l‐NG‐nitroarginine (l‐NOARG) and l‐NG‐nitroarginine methyl ester (l‐NAME) on vasodilatation induced by ATP, substance P, 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT), bradykinin and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were examined in the guinea‐pig coronary bed, by use of a Langendorff technique.
