ABSTRACT:
Inhibitors of nitric acid synthase can be used to prevent neurotoxicity mediated through glutamate receptors. Nitric oxide synthase inhibitors can be used therapeutically in the treatment of vascular stroke and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease.
