The effect of anandamide on uterine nitric oxide synthase activity depends on the presence of the blastocyst.

The effect of anandamide on uterine nitric oxide synthase activity depends on the presence of the blastocyst.

Nitric oxide production, catalyzed by nitric oxide synthase (NOS), should be strictly regulated to allow embryo implantation. Thus, our first aim was to study NOS activity during peri-implantation in the rat uterus. Day 6 inter-implantation sites showed lower NOS activity (0.19±0.01 pmoles L-citrull...
