Özet

Aim: Achalasia is a primary motor dysfunction of esophagus which can be created experimentally by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition. Although several theories have been suggested, mechanism of increased esophageal muscle thickness in achalasia is still unclear. An experimental study was performed to evaluate the esophageal muscle thickness after selective inhibition of NOS in rats.
