S-nitrosoglutathion (SNG) is a well known smooth muscle relaxant and a nitric oxide donor when introduced into a cell. SNG has a very short half life so it must be synthesized before every experiment. It was made by using Glutathione (GSH) and Sodium Nitrate (NaNO2). We determined the effects of nitric oxide on calcium signaling by utilizing M3 muscarinic receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Cytotoxicity was determined using a dye reduction assay. Nitric oxide was found to have an EC50 at 10mM, and had an inhibitory effect on store operated calcium entry (SOCE). Cytosolic calcium concentrations were measured using a calcium sensitive fluorescent dye (fura-2AM) and a ratiometric imaging program
