Introduction: This study was conducted to determine the possible beneficial results of L-arginine on prefrontal cortex of rats which impressed by immobilization stress to define the synchronous impression of stress and nitric oxide (NO) on evolution of prefrontal cortex of rats after birth. Methods: Forty-eight one month, male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: stressed and non-stressed. L-Arginine (200 mg/kg) as a NO synthase (NOS) inducer and L-NAME (2O mg/kg) were injected… Expand

Chronic Stress Induces the Expression of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase in Rat Brain Cortex
TLDR
Investigation of the role of endogenously released nitric oxide in stress and the possible induction of the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) isoform indicates that a sustained overproduction of NO via iNOS expression may be responsible for some of the neurodegenerative changes caused by stress and support a possible neuroprotective role for specific iNos inhibitors in this situation. Expand
Psychological stress-induced enhancement of brain lipid peroxidation via nitric oxide systems and its modulation by anxiolytic and anxiogenic drugs in mice
TLDR
The results indicate that psychological stress causes oxidative damage to the brain lipid via enhancing constitutive NOS-mediated production of NO, and that drugs with a BZD or 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist profile have a protective effect on oxidative brain membrane damage induced by psychological stress. Expand
Lipid peroxidation during acute stress.
TLDR
The results of this study showed the increase of LPO in the heart, stomach and liver under stress conditions, which could be supposed that LPO may be involved in mechanisms of stress injury in different tissues. Expand
Studies on lipid peroxidation in the rat brain
TLDR
A simple and reliable procedure for assessing lipid peroxidation (L.P.) and testing the activity of antioxidant compounds and inhibiting agents is established, provided that the experimental conditions are carefully assessed. Expand
Limb Reduction Defects after Prenatal Inhibition of Nitric Oxide Synthase in Rats
TLDR
The findings suggest that basal NO release is upregulated during fetal development concurrent with the processes that increase maternal NO release and that up-regulation of NO release occurs throughout the fetal systemic circulation and is not restricted to hindlimbs. Expand
Effect of various stressors on the levels of lipid peroxide, antioxidants and Na+, K+-ATPase actrivity in rat brain
TLDR
Differences in the biochemical response of animals towards various types of stress are elucidated, with increased lipid peroxide formation in hypoxia and starvation. Expand
Perinatal Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibition Retards Neonatal Growth by Inducing Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis in Rats
TLDR
It is concluded that NO, formed via the constitutive isoforms of NOS, is a critical determinant of fetal and neonatal growth and maturation and not aminoguanidine, the predominate inhibitor of inducible NOS. Expand
Immobilization stress causes oxidative damage to lipid, protein, and DNA in the brain of rats
TLDR
Findings provide evidence to support the idea that stress produces oxidants, and that the oxidative damage in stress could contribute to the degenerative diseases of aging, including brain dysfunction. Expand
Increased in vitro lipid peroxidation of gerbil cerebral cortex as compared with rat
TLDR
An in vitro model capable of producing biochemically similar damage to membrane systems by means of a controlled free-radical generating system may prove useful in studying possible mechanisms of ischemic damage. Expand
Neither L-NAME nor L-arginine changes extracellular glutamate elevation and anoxic depolarization during global ischemia and reperfusion in rat.
TLDR
The study suggests that NO is not an important mediator of glutamate release during ischemia and reperfusion, and instead suggests that L-NAME, L-arginine, and vehicle-treated animals should be considered as important mediators. Expand
