Abstract
The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on cell morphology was investigated in primary cultures of cerebellar astrocytes. Although the addition of N O donors to the culture medium did not change glial morphology, their removal did, with the form of astrocytes changing from flat to process bearing. This 'removal effect' may be a new mode of NO action.
