Hypoxically Induced Nitric Oxide: Potential Role as a Vasodilator in Mytilus edulis Gills

Intertidal Mytilus edulis experience rapid transgression to hypoxia when they close their valves during low tide. This induces a physiological stress response aiming to stabilize tissue perfusion against declining oxygen partial pressure in shell water. We hypothesized that nitric oxide (NO) accumul...
