FIG. 3.

Contribution of diet and other NOS isoforms to the depletion of NO metabolites in control mice. Data are from wild-type controls (C57BL/6J) (n=8) kept on a standard rodent chow, and wild-type animals kept on a low NOx diet without (n=5) and with additional L-NIO treatment (n=3). Left-hand panels show steady-state concentrations in individual compartments, right-hand panels display a theoretical total body concentration for each NO metabolite pool expressed as a weighted average. Data are mean±SEM, *p<0.05.
