Nitric oxide plays a critical role in methotrexate-induced hyperplasia of enterochromaffin cells containing 5-hydroxytryptamine in rat small intestine
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the changes in enterochromaffin cells and ileal 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) content induced by a single i.p. administration of methotrexate was investigated in rats. Methotrexate significantly increased inducible NO synthase (iNOS) mRNA and protein expressions in the...
