Localisation of NADPH-diaphorase-positive structures in the thymus of the rat, mouse and rabbit.

Localisation of the diaphorase activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH-d), acting as a marker of nitric oxide synthesis (NOS), was studied in the thymus of the rat, mouse and rabbit.
