چکیده
We reported previously that intravenously administered d-glucose acts in the central nervous system to inhibit gastric motility induced by hypoglycemia in anesthetized rats. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this effect is due to inhibition of dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) cholinergic motoneurons, which synapse with postganglionic cholinergic neurons, or to excitation of DMV cholinergic neurons, which synapse with postganglionic nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (NANC) neurons, particularly nitrergic neurons. Three approaches were employed: 1) assessment of the efficacy of d-glucose-induced inhibition of gastric motility in hypoglycemic rats with and without inhibition of nitric oxide synthase [10 mg/kg iv nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME)], 2) assessment of the efficacy of intravenous bethanechol (30 mug.kg(-1).min(-1)) to stimulate gastric motility in hypoglycemic rats during the time of d-glucose-induced inhibition of gastric motility, and 3) determination of c-Fos expression in DMV neurons after intravenous d-glucose was administered to normoglycemic rats. Results obtained demonstrated that l-NAME treatment had no effect on d-glucose-induced inhibition of gastric motility; there was no reduction in the efficacy of intravenous bethanechol to increase gastric motility, and c-Fos expression was not induced by d-glucose in DMV neurons that project to the stomach. These findings indicate that excitation of DMV cholinergic motoneurons that synapse with postganglionic NANC neurons is not a significant contributing component of d-glucose-induced inhibition of gastric motility.

Direct evidence against a role of ATP as the nonadrenergic, noncholinergic inhibitory neurotransmitter in guinea pig tenia coli.
Electrical field stimulation of the isolated guinea pig tenia coli in the presence of a muscarinic receptor antagonist (atropine) and an adrenergic neuron blocker (guanethidine) produces relaxation. A large amount of indirect evidence has suggested that the neurotransmitter that is released from these nonadrenergic, noncholinergic inhibitory neurons is ATP or a related nucleotide, and the nerve...

Role of nitric oxide released from iNANC neurons in airway responsiveness in cats.
The precise role of inhibitory nonadrenergic noncholinergic (iNANC) neurons and nitric oxide in airway hyperresponsiveness remains uncertain. The role of NO in the regulation of airway responsiveness was studied in anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated cats. To assess airway responsiveness, the changes in total pulmonary resistance (RL) produced by delivering serotonin aerosol to the airway...

Background: Relaxation of the corpus cavernosum plays a major role in penile erection. Nitric oxide (NO) is known to be the most important factor mediating relaxation of corpus cavernosum, which is mainly derived from nonadrenergic noncholinergic (NANC) nerves. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of biliary cirrhosis on nonadrenergic noncholinergic (NANC)-mediated relaxat...
متن کاملEffect of D-glucose injection into ventromedial and lateral nuclei of hypothalamus on pentagastrin-induced gastric secretion in rat
It has been shown that those factors which affect gastric acid secretion through the ventromedial and lateral nuclei of hypothalamus, can significantly alter centrally-mediated secretion. There is much evidence that glucose is among these factors that through a central mechanism can decrease induced acid secretion. It appears that this effect is mediated through glucose-sensitive neurons within...
