    We have studied the role of NOS in a murine model of aortic allograft rejection. METHODS.: The descending thoracic aorta of donor mice (BALB/c mice) was transplanted into two groups of recipients: (a) C57BL/6J and (b) C57BL/6J mice homozygous () for a knockout of the eNOS gene (eNOS). RESULTS.: Afte...

    Steroid hormones usually act via specific receptors and the hormone-receptor complex then influences the transcription of genes. These effects are often permissive for the actions of peptide hormones such as insulin and growth hormone (GH). The best known effects are those of cortisol. Since cortiso...
