Nitric Oxide-Induced Blockade of NMDA Receptors
We studied the effects of nitric oxide (NO)-producing agents on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation in cultured neurons. 3-Morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) blocked both NMDA-induced currents and the associated increase in intracellular Ca2+. The actions of SIN-1 were reversible and suppressed by hemoglobin. A degraded SIN-1 solution that did not release NO was unable to block NMDA rec...
متن کاملCentral blockade of nitric oxide transmission impairs exercise-induced neuronal activation in the PVN and reduces physical performance
The blockade of central nitric oxide (NO) signaling modifies the thermoregulatory and metabolic adjustments that occur during exercise, thereby impairing physical performance. However, the brain areas involved in this response remain unknown. Nitrergic neurons are present in the hypothalamic areas that are activated during exercise and participate in autonomic and neuroendocrine responses, such...
متن کاملCardiovascular responses to long-term blockade of nitric oxide synthesis.
The goal of this study was to determine if there is a basal release of nitric oxide that affects long-term arterial pressure regulation in dogs. Studies were conducted over a 23-day period in eight conscious dogs with indwelling catheters. Nitric oxide synthesis was blocked by continuous intravenous infusion of nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester at 37.1 nmol/kg per minute for 11 days. Arterial press...
متن کاملEndothelin receptor blockade attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary nitric oxide production.
Increased nitric oxide (NO) synthesis by the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been shown to contribute to the development of acute lung injury and delayed hypotension in animals injected with bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Recent evidence indicates that endothelin-1 (ET-1) is also elevated in septic humans and in animals. To assess the contribution of ETs to LPS-induced pulmonar...
متن کاملCardiac weight in hypertension induced by nitric oxide synthase blockade.
Wistar rats given a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME), for 4 weeks develop time- and dose-dependent hypertension without cardiac hypertrophy. This initial study of the relation between left ventricular weight and L-NAME-induced hypertension has now been extended by giving 50 mg/kg per day L-NAME to Wistar rats (n = 30) for 8 weeks and comparing results w...
