| Abstract(in English) | Nitric oxide (NO) synthase is distributed in both the inner and outer teleost retina. In order to understand the role of NO in the visual infromation processing, light stimuli causing an endogenous NO release from the carp retina were explored by a fluorometric assay. A continuous light, a flickering light and a moving slit of light stimulated the endogenous NO release from retinae, but the moving slit of light was most effective. For 20 min of illumination periods, the moving slit of light with the velocity value of 0.23 cm/sec (on the retina) caused the highest release of NO. A red slit was more effective than a green slit or a blue slit. The present results suggest that neurons respond to a red moving slit of light may use NO as a neuromodulator. |
