- Abstract
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that growth from puberty to adulthood in the rat is associated with an increase in renal cortical nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity that results in an augmented impact of nitric oxide (NO) on hemodynamic function. Two groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were studied: juvenile rats (~2 months old) and mature rats (~5 months old). NOS activity, measured as
