Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do nitric oxide synthase gene knockout mice become hypertensive during pregnancy?
Answer: There was no apparent increase in systolic blood pressure in any of the 3 nitric oxide synthase gene knockout strains during pregnancy compared to the wild-type control mice. This suggests that, at least in the mouse, genetic deficiency of any 1 isoform of nitric oxide synthase does not result in pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Output (English): no
