Detailed Instructions: Given a passage, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.
Q: N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) produces dilatation of cerebral arterioles that is dependent on production of nitric oxide (NO). In these experiments we examined the hypothesis that cerebral vasodilatation in response to NMDA is mediated by the neuronal isoform of NO synthase.', 'We measured diameters of cerebral arterioles (baseline diameter, 89 +/- 7 microns) using a closed cranial window in anesthetized rabbits that received either vehicle (10 mL/kg IP peanut oil) or 7-nitroindazole (7-NI; 50 mg/kg IP). 7-NI is reported to be a selective inhibitor of neuronal NO synthase.', 'Two hours after administration of 7-NI, activity of brain NO synthase (measured by conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline) was reduced by 33% compared with vehicle (24 +/- 1 versus 16 +/- 3 pmol/min per milligram protein; n = 7; P < .05). Dilatation of cerebral arterioles in response to NMDA (100 and 300 mumol/L) was inhibited by 30% to 40% by 7-NI compared with responses in the presence of vehicle (23 +/- 6% versus 14 +/- 5% and 30 +/- 4% versus 21 +/- 5%, respectively; P < .05 for both concentrations; n = 10). In contrast, vasodilatation in response to acetylcholine (1 mumol/L) was similar in vehicle- and 7-NI-treated animals (17 +/- 5% versus 21 +/- 4%; P > .05).
A:
Does 7-Nitroindazole inhibit brain nitric oxide synthase and cerebral vasodilatation in response to N-methyl-D-aspartate?
