L-NAME causes antinociception by stimulation of the arginine-NO-cGMP pathway

NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) has been used extensively as a paradigmatic inhibitor of NO synthase and has been shown to cause antinociception in several experimental models. We describe here how L-NAME produced a dose-dependent anti-nociceptive effect when injected intraperitoneally in...
