“…In the neuropil NADPH-d reactive and NOS-IR materials occurred more frequently on the axolemma than on intracellular elements, meanwhile near to the site of axo-axonic contacts the positive labeling was mainly found on vesicle membranes. Similarly to our results obtained in the snail CNS, NOS was observed in axon terminals containing small size ovoid or pleomorph agranular vesicles in the brain of the Atlantic salmon (Holmqvist and Ekström, 1997), the rat spinal trigeminal nucleus (Yeo et al, 1997), the monkey visual cortex (Aoki et al, 1993), as well as in neural components of the guinea-pig intestine (Wang et al, 1995). According to the vesicle morphology in insect and vertebrate neurons, these vesicles contain presumably an amino acid or acetylcholine (Watson, 1988;Holmqvist and Ekström, 1997;Helfert et al, 1992).…”

“…It might be supported by the observation that NOS is carried by adapter proteins between these compartments after distinct stimuli (Jaffrey et al, 2002;Ohnishi et al, 2009;Rőszer et al, 2010). On the other hand, due to the intensive DAB reaction distributed in the entire axoplasm, the association of NOS to vesicle membranes in presynaptic profiles was not excluded either by the authors describing the cytoplasmic location of NOS (Aoki et al, 1993;Atkinson et al, 2003). Others have emphasized that in preparations of high quality the cytoplasmic NOS-IR material was clearly located around synaptic vesicles (Rodrigo et al, 1997;Sancesario et al, 2000).…”

“…Light deprivation enhances NOS activity in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of mice and rabbits (Ientile et al 1996) and enhances NADPH-d staining in the LGN of cats (Gunluk et al 1994). Monocular enucleation also alters NOS distribution in the monkey visual cortex (Aoki et al 1993).…”

“…In brain homogenates, half of nNOS is soluble and half is particulate. Electron microscopic studies localize nNOS to a variety of cellular membranes, including dendritic spines and shafts, axon terminals, and the endoplasmic reticulum (5,6). For transmitter release, nNOS appears to be localized to the plasma membrane, permitting rapid egress of NO, conceivably associated with translocation of cytosolic nNOS to the membrane.…”
