“…Myometrial type I NOS has a diffuse distribution in the myometrial smooth muscle, and it is found as a soluble cytoplasmatic enzyme and also as a membrane-bound enzyme. Administration of the NOS inhibitor L-NAME to nonpregnant sheep does not increase uterine contractility, despite a marked increase in arterial blood pressure; thus the role for NOS as a modulator of uterine contractility is unlikely [36]. The physiological role for type I NOS in caruncular endometrium is even less clear.…”
