NOS Inhibition Enhances Myogenic Tone by Increasing Rho-Kinase Mediated Ca(2+) Sensitivity in the Male but Not the Female Gerbil Spiral Modiolar Artery

Cochlear blood flow regulation is important to prevent hearing loss caused by ischemia and oxidative stress. Cochlear blood supply is provided by the spiral modiolar artery (SMA). The myogenic tone of the SMA is enhanced by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) blocker L-N(G)-Nitro-Arginine (LNNA) in male...
