Renal effects of glucose transporter 4 in Nω-nitro-L-arginine/ /high salt-induced hypertensive rats.

OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to determine the renal effects of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in a hypertensive nephropathy rat model. BACKGROUND GLUT4 has been implicated in insulin resistance and hypertension in several animal models; however its role in hypertensive nephropathy still remains unclear. METHODS Hypertensive nephropathy was induced by Nω-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), a nitric ...

Nω-nitro-nω'-substituted Guanidines: a Simple Class of Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitors.

A series of Nω-nitro-Nω'-substituted guanidines has been prepared as potential inhibitors of the human Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) isoforms. The reported utility of aminoguanidine and nitroarginine in iNOS inhibition points to a potential similar utility for analogs of nitro-guanidine. The compound library was tested against the three isoforms of Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS, iNOS and nNOS). Sev...

Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase activity improves focal cerebral damage induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in normotensive rats

Introduction: Nitric oxide seems to play a dual role in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Few studies have investigated whether it exacerbates or improves brain edema. In the present study, we inhibited the activity of nitric oxide synthase by L-NAME and evaluated the cerebral infarct volume, tissue swelling and brain edema, alongside the measurement of blood flow of the ischemic region. Methods...

Cardiovascular regulation by L-arginine in the brain of rats: role of the brain renin-angiotensin system and nitric oxide.

The effect of brain L-arginine on arterial pressure was investigated by injecting L- or D-arginine into the cerebral ventricles of male Wistar rats that were anesthetized with urethane. Intracerebroventricular (I.C.V.) injection of 1 micromol L-arginine reduced the arterial pressure and the abdominal sympathetic nervous activity (SNA), whereas the injection of 10 micromol L-arginine induced a t...

Contribution of Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) Activity in Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption and Edema after Acute Ischemia/ Reperfusion in Aortic Coarctation-Induced Hypertensive Rats

Background: Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity is increased during hypertension and cerebral ischemia. NOS inactivation reduces stroke-induced cerebral injuries, but little is known about its role in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and cerebral edema formation during stroke in acute hypertension. Here, we investigated the role of NOS inhibition in progression of edema formation and BBB d...
