Nitric oxide synthases of mast cells of mucous coat of rat’s maxillary sinus in case of maxillary nerve injury

Abstract

The paper provides results of research into localisation of nitric oxide synthase in mast cells of mucous coat of 15 sexually mature rats under the conditions of experimental injury of maxillary nerve, and indicates that the lesions in the mucous coat have resulted from deafferentation occurred right after the injury. The mast cells produced nitric oxide synthase and degranulated in the area of the injury. The authors consider that the nitric oxide synthase-inducing mast cells mediate the trophic (protective) and/or toxic effects from the nitric oxide during reconvalescence period after the experimental injury of the maxillary nerve.
