Role of matrix metalloproteinase II on analgesic effect of nitric oxide inhibition in rat
Abstract Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase 2 is one of the inflammatory mediators that is involved in nociceptive processing and its production is regulated by many inflammatory factors such as nitric oxide. We studied the role of MMP-2 on the analgesic effects of nNOS inhibitor. Methods: Considering that nitric oxide has many roles in pain processing, we studied the CSF levels of MMP-2 ...
متن کاملEffect of Severe Hyperthyroidism on Concentrations of Nitric Oxide-producing Enzymes in Liver of Male Rats
Introduction: Thyroid hormones play an important role in normal function of liver and hyperthyroidism can cause liver dysfunction. Thyroid hormones affect nitric oxide (NO)-producing enzymes in liver. The aim of this study is to investigate effects of hyperthyroidism on protein levels of three isoforms of NO synthase (NOS) enzymes, including endothelial NOS (eNOS), inducible NOS (iNOS), and neu...
متن کاملP2: The Role of Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase on the Anti-Seizure Effects of 5-HT1A Receptors in Perforant Pathway Kindling Model in Rat
Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) plays a role in synaptic potentiation and kindling process.The relationship between nNOS and 5-HT1A receptors also nearly has been specified. In this research,we investigate the role of nNOS on the anticonvulsant effect of 5-HT1A receptors. 24 male (280 ± 30 g) were randomly assigned to four groups (vehicle,NI,Way 100635 and NI + Way100635) (n = 6). ...
متن کاملNMDAR1 glutamate receptor subunit isoforms in neostriatal, neocortical, and hippocampal nitric oxide synthase neurons.
Nitric oxide (NO), an unconventional and diffusible neurotransmitter, is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NMDA glutamate receptors are potent regulators of NO synthesis. We have used dual-label immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy to examine forebrain neurons in the rat that contain high levels of neuronal NOS (nNOS) for the presence of the NMDAR1 receptor subunit protein and r...
متن کاملMultiple embryonic origins of nitric oxide synthase-expressing GABAergic neurons of the neocortex
CORTICAL GABAERGIC INTERNEURONS IN RODENTS ORIGINATE IN THREE SUBCORTICAL REGIONS: the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), the lateral/caudal ganglionic eminence (LGE/CGE), and the preoptic area (POA). Each of these neuroepithelial precursor domains contributes different interneuron subtypes to the cortex. Neuronal NOS (nNOS)-expressing neurons represent a heterogenous population of cortical inte...
