Table 2.

Nitric oxide levels in the mouse olfactory bulb are increased by odorant application to the anesthetized mouse.

Odorant mixtures used for stimulation are shown in Table 1. Odorant stimuli were 5 sec in duration. Each odorant in the mixture was present at 0.01 % (vol/vol). Odorants were introduced into the flow of isoflurane used to maintain anesthesia.
