Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the impact of elevated partial pressures of 02 on the steady state level of nitric oxide (*NO) in the central nervous system. Previous investigations have inferred that elevations in brain 02 tension alter concentrations of X10. However, conclusions were based on measurements of the products produced as a consequence of `NO production, rather than direct measurements, and the results have been contradictory (1-4).
