The expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been postulated to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of SAH and subsequent cerebral vasospasm. The inhibitory effect of CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) on the induction of iNOS after SAH was examined by using transgenic mice overexpressing CuZn-SOD.
