They used a combination of Cuprolinic blue (which binds to single-stranded RNA) to visualize all neurons and NADPH diaphorase histochemistry, which labels nitrergic neurons (8%-16% of total), almost all of which are situated in the deep submucosa.
Inhibition of diaphorase activity of PfFNR was measured in the reaction of Scheme 1 as described above, by the additions of each alkaloid at 100 ppm, NADPH at 100 uM, and 5 nM FNR.
Then, 50 [micro]l of the next reagent (30 mmol/L nicotinamide, 0.3 [micro]g/ml ADP-ribosyl cyclase, and 100 mmol/L sodium phosphate, pH 8.0) and 100 [micro]l of cycling reagent (100 [micro]g/ml alcohol dehydrogenase, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, 2% ethanol, 20 [micro]mol/L resazurin, 10 [micro]mol/L of FMN, 10 [micro]g/ml diaphorase, 10 mmol/L nicotinamide, and 100 mmol/L sodium phosphate, pH 8.0) were sequentially added to 100 [micro]l of each samples and incubated for 15 min and 4 h, respectively, at room temperature.
The final assay mixture comprised 110 mM lactate, 3.35 mM [NAD.sup.+], 350 [micro]M resazurin, and 2.2 units/mL of diaphorase in 3 mM Tris/30 mM HEPES/10 mM NaCl buffer (pH 7.4) and 0.45% Triton X-100.
The red cell nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH) dependent methaemoglobin reductase or diaphorase I enzyme (Breaking et al., 1951; Gibson and Harrison, 1947), protects the erythrocyte from an accumulation of methaemoglobin.
