Fig. 4. Opposing roles for eNOS and nNOS in regulating heart contraction. NO formed by eNOS inhibits L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCC) to decrease muscle contraction. By contrast, NO produced by nNOS on the sarcoplasmic reticulum stimulates calcium influx through the ryanodine receptor (RyR) to augment cardiac contractility.
