Endotoxin Induces Interleukin-1β and Nitric Oxide Synthase mRNA in Rat Hypothalamus and Pituitary

The gases nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) may be involved in hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) modulation. In the brain, NO is synthesized by two forms of NO synthase (NOS), a consti
