Why the study?
Does NOS inhibition with L-NAME reduce vascular conductance in female Wistar rats during high-intensity exercise?
Population
Female Wistar rats run on a motor-driven treadmill at a speed and gradient established to yield maximal…

No clinical implications; leaves open whether fiber-type–specific NO effects on vascular conductance translate beyond rat models.
Does NOS inhibition with L-NAME reduce vascular conductance in female Wistar rats during high-intensity exercise?
Nitric oxide contributes substantially to the regulation of vascular conductance within and among muscles of the rat hindquarter during high-intensity exercise.
Musch et al. (2001) studied this question.
