Nitric oxide deficiency contributes to large cerebral infarct size.
The purpose of this study was to examine the role played by a deficit in nitric oxide (NO) in contributing to the large cerebral infarcts seen in hypertension. Cerebral infarction was produced in rats by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Studies were performed in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats subjected to NO synthase blockade (N(G)-nitro-L-arginine [L-NNA], 20 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) in dri...
متن کاملNitric oxide synthase inhibitors in experimental stroke and their effects on infarct size and cerebral blood flow; a systematic review
Gene knock-out studies in acute experimental stroke suggest that nitric oxide (NO) produced by the neuronal or inducible isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS, iNOS) is detrimental, whilst that derived from the endothelial isoform (eNOS) is beneficial. However, experimental studies with nitric oxide synthase inhibitors (NOS inhibitors) have given conflicting results. Published controlled stud...
متن کاملNitric oxide deficiency contributes to impairment of airway relaxation in cystic fibrosis mice.
The pulmonary disease of cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by persistent airway obstruction, which has been attributed to chronic endobronchial infection and inflammation. The levels of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) are reduced in CF patients, which could contribute to bronchial obstruction through dysregulated constriction of airway smooth muscle. Because airway epithelium from CF mice has bee...
متن کاملSuperoxide contributes to development of salt sensitivity and hypertension induced by nitric oxide deficiency.
This study was performed to examine the role of superoxide (O2-) in the development of salt sensitivity and hypertension induced by inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) generation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with diet containing either normal salt (NS) (0.4% NaCl) or high salt (HS) (4% NaCl). These rats were treated with or without an NO synthase inhibitor, nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAM...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Synthase Dysfunction Contributes to Impaired Cerebroarteriolar Reactivity in Experimental Cerebral Malaria
Cerebrovascular dysfunction plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria. In experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) induced by Plasmodium berghei ANKA, cerebrovascular dysfunction characterized by vascular constriction, occlusion and damage results in impaired perfusion and reduced cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, and has been linked to low nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Here, ...
