Abstract
In conclusion this study shows that l-NAME attenuates constitutive Ca2+ dependent NOS activity in intact skin, decreases skin and flap blood flow and decreases the survival of skin flaps. These results indicate that constitutive nitric oxide synthase is important for basal blood flow in skin and flap tissue and for the survival of skin flaps.
