Neuronal and endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene knockout mice

Targeted disruption of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) genes has led to knockout mice that lack these isoforms. These animal models have been useful to study the roles of nitric oxide (NO) in physiologic processes. nNOS knockout mice have enlarg...
