刺激室旁核及加压素对大鼠胃缺血-再灌注损伤的保护作用

采用夹闭大鼠腹腔动脉30min,松开动脉夹血流复灌1h的胃缺血-再灌注损伤(gastric ischemia-reper-fusion injury,GI-RI）模型,观察了电或化学刺激室旁核（paraventricular nucleus,PVN）及外源性加压素（arginine-va-sopression,AVP）对GI-RI的影响,并对PVN的调控通路进行了初步分析。结果表明：电或化学刺激PVN后,GI-RI显著减轻;损毁双侧孤束核（nucleus tractus solitarius,NTS）或一侧NTS内注射AVP-V1受体阻断剂,均能取消电刺激PVN对GI-RI的效应;去除脑垂体后不影响PVN的作用;切断膈下迷走神经或切除腹腔交感神经节,则能加强电刺激PVN对GI-RI的影响;PVN内注射不同剂量的AVP同样能减轻大鼠GI-RI损伤。结果提示：PVN及AVP对大鼠GI-RI具有保护作用;PVN的这种作用可能是因电或化学刺激后,激活了其中的加压素能神经元,经其下行投射纤维释放AVP作用于NTS神经元的VAP-V1受体,并通过迷走和交感神经介导,从而影响GI-RI;而似与PVN-垂体通路关系不大。     

Arginine vasopressin in hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus is transferred to the nucleus raphe magnus to participate in pain modulation

Hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is one of the main sources of arginine vasopressin (AVP) synthesis and secretion. AVP is the most important bioactive substance in PVN regulating pain process. Our pervious study has pointed that pain stimulation induced AVP increase in the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM), which plays a role in pain modulation. The present study was designed to investigate the source of AVP in the rat NRM during pain process using the methods of nucleus push–pull perfusion and radioimmunoassay. The results showed that pain stimulation increased the AVP concentration in the NRM perfusion liquid, PVN cauterization inhibited the role that pain stimulation induced the increase of AVP concentration in the NRM perfusion liquid, and PVN microinjection of l-glutamate sodium, which excited the PVN neurons, could increase the AVP concentration in the NRM perfusion liquid. The data suggested that AVP in the PVN might be transferred to the NRM to participate in pain modulation.     

Expression of NADPH-diaphorase in nucleus tractus solitarius after peripheral injection of E. coli endotoxin in rats

1. The possibility that peripheral exogenous pyrogens can activate brainstem nuclei by abdominal viscera afferents was studied using the NADPH-diaphorase method in E. coli lipopolysaccharide treated rats with and without ibuprofen pre-treatment.

2. NADPH-d staining revealed: (i) a significant increase in the number of NADPH-d labeled neurons in the subpostremal area of the nucleus tractus solitarius lipopolysaccharide treated rats compared with control animals (p<0.05), and (ii) an almost similar number of NADPH-d positive neurons in both control and ibuprofen pre-treated rats (p=0.091).

3. These data indicate that peripheral administration of an exogenous pyrogen stimulates the synthesis of nitric oxide in the nucleus tractus solitarius, and are consistent with the hypothesis of a direct neural link between the periphery and the hypothalamus.

Differential role of leptin receptors at the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in tonic regulation of food intake and cardiovascular functions

Leptin plays an important role in the central regulation of body weight and arterial pressure via activation of leptin receptors (Ob-Rs) in the hypothalamic area, including the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). The present study was undertaken to investigate whether endogenous leptin in the PVN plays a dual role in the tonic regulation of body weight and arterial pressure. Adult, male normal-weight Sprague-Dawley rats, which were anesthetized and maintained with propofol, were used. A direct bilateral microinjection into the PVN of an antisense oligonucleotide against Ob-R mRNA (ASON1, 50 pmol) significantly increased the daily food intake and body weight gain, effects which lasted for at least 14 days. The same treatment, on the other hand, had no appreciable effect on the basal mean systemic arterial pressure (SAP), heart rate (HR), or power density of the vasomotor components of SAP signals, the experimental index of neurogenic sympathetic vasomotor tone. ASON1 treatment also exerted an insignificant effect on the baroreceptor reflex control of HR. Western blot analysis revealed that a bilateral microinjection into the PVN of ASON1 (50 pmol) significantly decreased the expression of the Ob-R protein in the hypothalamus. The same treatment also attenuated hypertension, tachycardia, and the increase in the power density of the vasomotor components of the SAP signals induced by exogenous bilateral application of leptin (5 or 50 ng) into the PVN. Control application of sense (SON, 50 pmol) or a scrambled antisense Ob-R oligonucleotide (ASON2, 50 pmol) into the bilateral PVN promoted no discernible effect on Ob-R protein expression in the hypothalamus, on daily food intake, or on cardiovascular performance. Our results indicate that whereas the Ob-Rs in the PVN are involved in the tonic regulation of food intake, they might not be actively involved in the tonic regulation of cardiovascular functions.     

电刺激下丘脑外侧区对大鼠胃缺血-再灌注损伤的影响

采用夹闭大鼠腹腔动脉30min,松开动脉夹血流复灌60min的胃缺血－再灌注损伤(gastric ischemia reperfusion injury,GI-RI)模型,用电和化学刺激,电损毁的方法观察了下丘脑外侧区（lateral hypothalamic area,LHA)对GI－RI的影响,并对其机制进行了初步分析,结果表明：（1）以0．2,0．4,0．6mA的电流强度刺激LHA,GI－RI均显著加重,且有强度－效应依赖关系,LHA内注射L－谷氨酸（L－Glu)后,对LI－RI的效应与电刺激相似,电损毁双侧LHA,GI－RI面积较电刺激组明显减小;（2）损毁双侧背侧迷走复合体（dorsal vagal complex,DVC)或切损毁是LHA,GI－RI面积较电刺激组明显减小;（2）损 侧背侧迷走复合体（dorsal vagal complex,DVC)或切断膈下迷走神经均能取消电刺激LHA加重GI－RI的作用。（3）电刺激LHA使缺血－再灌注（ischemia-reperfusion,I-R)的胃粘膜丙二醛（MDA）含量升高,超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性降低;（4）电刺激LHA使I－R的胃液量和总酸排出量增多,而酸度,胃蛋白酶活性和胃壁结合粘液量等无明显改变,结果提示;LHA是对GI－RI具有加重作用的中枢部位,其作用是通过DVC及迷走神经下传的,电刺激LHA加重GI－RI的作用与胃粘膜MDA含量增加,SOD活性降低,胃液量和总酸排出量增加等因素有关,而似与酸度,胃蛋白酶活性,胃壁结合粘液量等因素无关。     

Endogenous GLP-1 acts on paraventricular nucleus to suppress feeding: Projection from nucleus tractus solitarius and activation of corticotropin-releasing hormone,nesfatin-1 and oxytocin neurons

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have been used to treat type 2 diabetic patients and shown to reduce food intake and body weight. The anorexigenic effects of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists are thought to be mediated primarily via the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). GLP-1, an intestinal hormone, is also localized in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of the brain stem. However, the role of endogenous GLP-1, particularly that in the NTS neurons, in feeding regulation remains to be established. The present study examined whether the NTS GLP-1 neurons project to PVN and whether the endogenous GLP-1 acts on PVN to restrict feeding. Intra-PVN injection of GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin (9–39) increased food intake. Injection of retrograde tracer into PVN combined with immunohistochemistry for GLP-1 in NTS revealed direct projection of NTS GLP-1 neurons to PVN. Moreover, GLP-1 evoked Ca²⁺ signaling in single neurons isolated from PVN. The majority of GLP-1-responsive neurons were immunoreactive predominantly to corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and nesfatin-1, and less frequently to oxytocin. These results indicate that endogenous GLP-1 targets PVN to restrict feeding behavior, in which the projection from NTS GLP-1 neurons and activation of CRH and nesfatin-1 neurons might be implicated. This study reveals a neuronal basis for the anorexigenic effect of endogenous GLP-1 in the brain.     

白藜芦醇抑制大鼠下丘脑脑片室旁核神经元放电

本文旨在研究白藜芦醇(resveratrol)对下丘脑脑片室旁核神经元放电的影响.应用玻璃微电极细胞外记录单位放电技术,在下丘脑脑片上观察白藜芦醇对静息状态下室旁核神经元放电的影响.结果如下:(1)在29张下丘脑脑片室旁核神经元放电单位给予白藜芦醇(O.05,0.5,5.0 μmol/L)2 min,有28张脑片(96.6%)放电频率显著降低,且呈剂量依赖性;(2)预先用0.2mmol/L的L.glutamate灌流8张下丘脑脑片,8张脑片(100%)放电频率显著增加,表现为癫痫样放电,该放电可被白藜芦醇(5.0 μmol/L)灌流2 min抑制:(3)预先用L型钙通道开放剂Bay K8644(0.1μmol/L)灌流8张下丘脑脑片,8张脑片(100%)放电频率显著增加,该放电可被白藜芦醇(5.0 μmol/L)灌流2 min抑制;(4)用一氧化氮合酶抑制剂Nω-nitro.L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME)50μmol/L灌流8张下丘脑脑片,7张脑片(87.5%)放电频率显著增加,该放电可被白藜芦醇(5.0 μmol/L)灌流2 min抑制.以上结果提示,白藜芦醇抑制下丘脑室旁核神经元自发放电,可能通过降低心血管中枢的活动性而产生中枢保护作用.这种抑制作用可能与白藜芦醇抑制L型钙通道、减少钙内流有关,与NO释放无关.     

Primary Vagal Projection to the Contralateral Non-NTS Region in the Embryonic Chick Brainstem Revealed by Optical Recording

Using multiple-site optical recording with the voltage-sensitive dye, NK2761, we found that vagus nerve stimulation in the embryonic chick brainstem elicits postsynaptic responses in an undefined region on the contralateral side. The characteristics of the contralateral optical signals suggested that they correspond to the monosynaptic response that is related to the vagal afferent fibers. The location of the contralateral response was different from the vagal motor nucleus (the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve) and sensory nucleus (the nucleus of the tractus solitarius), and other brainstem nuclei that receive primary vagal projection. These results show that the vagus nerve innervates and makes functional synaptic connections in a previously unreported region of the brainstem, and suggest that sensory information processing mediated by the vagus nerve is more complex than expected.     

Involvement of 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase in regulation of Fos expression and tyrosine hydroxylase levels during morphine withdrawal in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and medulla oblongata catecholaminergic cell groups

Morphine withdrawal stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis activity by activation of nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS)/ventrolateral medulla (VLM) noradrenergic pathways innervating the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). We investigated whether cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) plays a role in this process by estimating changes in PKA immunoreactivity and the influence of inhibition of PKA on Fos protein expression and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity levels in the PVN and NTS/VLM during morphine withdrawal. Dependence on morphine was induced by a 7-day s.c. implantation of morphine pellets. Morphine withdrawal was precipitated on day 8 by an injection of naloxone (5 mg/kg s.c.). When opioid withdrawal was precipitated, an increase in PKA immunoreactivity levels was observed 90 min after naloxone administration in the PVN and NTS/VLM areas. Morphine withdrawal induced expression of Fos in the PVN and NTS/VLM, indicating an activation of neurones in those nuclei. TH immunoreactivity in NTS/VLM was increased 90 min after induction of morphine withdrawal, whereas there was a decrease in TH levels in the PVN at the same time point. When the selective PKA inhibitor HA-1004 was infused it greatly diminished the Fos expression observed in morphine-withdrawn rats. Furthermore, the changes in TH immunoreactivity were significantly modified by infusion of HA-1004. The present findings suggest that an up-regulated PKA-dependent transduction pathway might contribute to the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis in response to morphine withdrawal.     

Effect of aminoguanidine on ischemia-reperfusion induced myocardial injury in rats

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) has been implicated in the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) that leads to increase production of nitric oxide (NO). Recently, excessive production of NO has been involved in causing myocardial injury. In our in vivo model, we examined the effects of aminoguanidine (AMG), a known iNOS inhibitor, on percentage infarct size in anaesthetized rats. A total of 14 rats were equally divided into two groups (n = 7 in each group). To produce myocardial necrosis, the left main coronary artery was occluded for 30 min, followed by 120 min of reperfusion, in anesthetized rats. AMG (200 mg kg⁻¹) was given intravenously 10 min before occlusion. The volume of infarct size and the risk zone were determined by planimentry of each tracing and multiplying by the slice thickness. Infarct size was normalized by expressing it as a percentage of the area at risk. Hemodynamic parameters were measured via the left carotid artery. Compared to MI/R group, whereas AMG administration elevated mean arterial blood pressure, statistically reduced the myocardial infarct size (21± 1 and 14± 4%, respectively) and infract size/risk zone (53± 3 and 37± 5%, respectively) in rat model of ischemia-reperfusion. In conclusion, this study indicates that iNOS inhibitor, AMG, show reduction in NO’s side effect in I/R injury.     

The effects of nesfatin‐1 in the paraventricular nucleus on gastric motility and its potential regulation by the lateral hypothalamic area in rats

The current study investigated the effects of nesfatin‐1 in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on gastric motility and the regulation of the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA). Using single unit recordings in the PVN, we show that nesfatin‐1 inhibited the majority of the gastric distention (GD)‐excitatory neurons and excited more than half of the GD‐inhibitory (GD‐I) neurons in the PVN, which were weakened by oxytocin receptor antagonist H4928. Gastric motility experiments showed that administration of nesfatin‐1 in the PVN decreased gastric motility, which was also partly prevented by H4928. The nesfatin‐1 concentration producing a half‐maximal response (EC50) in the PVN was lower than the value in the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, while nesfatin‐1 in the reuniens thalamic nucleus had no effect on gastric motility. Retrograde tracing and immunofluorescent staining showed that nucleobindin‐2/nesfatin‐1 and fluorogold double‐labeled neurons were observed in the LHA. Electrical LHA stimulation changed the firing rate of GD‐responsive neurons in the PVN. Pre‐administration of an anti‐ nucleobindin‐2/nesfatin‐1 antibody in the PVN strengthened gastric motility and decreased the discharging of the GD‐I neurons induced by electrical stimulation of the LHA. These results demonstrate that nesfatin‐1 in the PVN could serve as an inhibitory factor to inhibit gastric motility, which might be regulated by the LHA.

     

Participation of galaninergic neurotransmission at the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus in the suppression of baroreceptor reflex response by locus ceruleus in the rat

We evaluated the potential participation of galanin (GAL) at the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN) in the suppression of baroreceptor reflex (BRR) response by locus ceruleus (LC), using adult male Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. Microinjection of GAL (100 pmol) bilaterally into the PVN significantly depressed the BRR response. This suppressive effect was appreciably antagonized when GAL (100 pmol) and GAL antiserum (1:20) were coadministered into the bilateral PVN. Whereas bilateral microinjection of GAL antiserum into the PVN by itself elicited minimal effect, it nevertheless significantly attenuated the suppressive effect of either electrical or chemical activation of LC on the BRR response. Pretreatment with the same amount of normal rabbit serum (1:20), on the other hand, was ineffective. These results suggest that a galaninergic projection from the LC to PVN may participate in the suppression of BRR response by this dorsal pontine nucleus.     

清醒大鼠室旁核微量注射心房钠尿肽对压力感受性反射敏感性的影响

心房钠尿肽(atriaI natriuretic peptide,ANP)作为一种神经递质或调质可能参与心血管活动的中枢调节。本实验在清醒大鼠室旁核(paraventricular nucleus,PVN)注射ANP,探讨其对压力感受性反射敏感性的影响,并通过侧脑室注射血管升压素受体Ⅰ阻断剂OPC-21268,观察ANP对压力感受性反射敏感性的调节是否与中枢血管升压素有关。实验中观察到,在PVN内微量注射ANP(6、60 ng/0.2μl)可明显提高压力感受性反射敏感性(P<0.05),侧脑室预先注射OPC-21268 (0,45 μg/3 μl)后,ANP对压力感受性反射敏感性的增强作用明显减弱(P<0.05)。静脉注射ANP(60 ng/0.04 ml)不影响压力感受性反射敏感性。上述结果提示,心房钠尿肽对压力感受性反射活动起易化作用,心房钠尿肽的这种中枢作用可能部分通过中枢血管升压素介导。     

The protective effect of ApolipoproteinA-I on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats

It is well established that reperfusion of heart is the optimal method for salvaging ischemic myocardium, however, the success of this therapy could be limited by reperfusion injury, which is involved in inflammatory responses. High density lipoprotein (HDL) has an anti-inflammatory function and can protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In this study, we investigated the cardioprotective role of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), the major apolipoprotein of HDL, in I/R injury. Using rats subjected to myocardial I/R by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), we found that administration of ApoA-I (20 mg/kg, iv) before the onset of reperfusion of myocardial infarction can significantly reduce serum creatine kinase (CK) levels (62.1+/-13.8%, p<0.01) and heart TNF-alpha as well as IL-6 levels, compared with saline controls (40.4+/-14.7%, 44+/-9.8%, p<0.01 respectively). Moreover, ApoA-I treatment suppresses the expression of ICAM-1 on endothelium, thus diminishing neutrophil adherence, transendothelial migration, and the subsequent myocyte injury. We concluded that ApoA-I could effectively protect rat heart from I/R injury.     

Comparative effects on blood pressure and heart rate of dynorphin A(1–13) in anterior hypothalamic area, posterior hypothalamic area, nucleus tractus solitarius, and lateral cerebral ventricle in the rat

The objective of this study was to explore the effects of the endogenous opioid peptide dynorphin A(1–13) on the CNS regulation of blood pressure and heart rate. Wistar rats, anesthetized with pentobarbital and halothane, received dynorphin A(1–13) microinjected into the anterior hypothalamus area (AHA), the posterior hypothalamic area (PHA), the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), or the lateral cerebral ventricle (ICV). Dynorphin A(1–13), 20 (12 nmol) or 30 μg ICV, produced significant (p < 0.05) reductions in blood pressure and heart rate. Naloxone, 50 μg/kg ICV, completely prevented the blood pressure response and significantly (p < 0.05) blunted the heart rate response to the highest dynorphin concentration, 30 μg ICV (18 nmol). Dynorphin A(1–13), 5 μg, in the NTS significantly (p < 0.05) decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate with the response being evident 10 min and persisting for 30 min after injection. In contrast, the same dose of dynorphin A(1–13) in the AHA produced an immediate, marked, and significant (p < 0.05) decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate that attained its maximum 1–3 min and returned rapidly towards baseline levels. Dynorphin A(1–13), 5 or 10 μg in the posterior hypothalamic area, was not associated with any change in blood pressure or heart rate. Injection of the diluent at any site was not associated with any changes in blood pressure or heart rate. The maximum change in blood pressure with dynorphin was greater in the AHA than NTS, and the maximum change in heart rate was greater in the NTS than AHA. These data indicate a potential role for dynorphin as a modulator of the CNS regulation of blood pressure and cardiac rate, and this is mediated in part through different areas in the brain that maybe localized to the anterior hypothalamic area and nucleus tractus solitarius but not the posterior hypothalamic area.     

烫伤对大鼠下丘脑室旁核内皮素—1合成和分泌的影响

目的研究烫伤后下丘脑室旁核(PVH)内皮素-1(ET-1)的合成和分泌改变,探讨PVHET-1在烫伤中的病理生理学意义。方法用原位杂交和免疫组织化学方法观察了烫伤后PVHET-1合成和分泌的变化,并用通用图象颗粒分析法检测单位面积内ET-1mRNA阳性杂交信号的强度和ET-1样免疫反应物(ET-1-ir)免疫反应强度。结果烫伤后15minPVH神经元胞浆内ET-1mRNA阳性杂交信号与对照组相比未见明显差异,烫伤后60min和180minPVH神经元胞浆内ET-1mRNA阳性杂交信号较对照组(100％±25％)明显增多,强度明显增高,分别为138％±26％(P<0．05)和167％±18％(P<0.01);而烫伤后15minPVH神经元胞浆内ET-1阳性反应物明显减少,免疫反应物强度为6．3％±1．5％,显著低于对照组(P<0．01),烫伤后60min和180min逐渐回升,分别为23．1％±2．9％和44．1％±3．8％,但仍显著低于对照组(P＜0．01)。结论烫伤后PVHET-1合成和分泌增加。     

Effects of ghrelin on gastric distention sensitive neurons in the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus and gastric motility in diabetic rats

This study was performed to observe the effects of ghrelin on the activity of gastric distention (GD) sensitive neurons in the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus (Arc) and on gastric motility in vivo in streptozocin (STZ) induced diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. Electrophysiological results showed that ghrelin could excite GD-excitatory (GD-E) neurons and inhibit GD-inhibitory (GD-I) neurons in the Arc. However, fewer GD-E neurons were excited by ghrelin and the excitatory effect of ghrelin on GD-E neurons was much weaker in DM rats. Gastric motility research in vivo showed that microinjection of ghrelin into the Arc could significantly promote gastric motility and it showed a dose-dependent manner. The effect of ghrelin promoting gastric motility in DM rats was weaker than that in normal rats. The effects induced by ghrelin could be blocked by growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) antagonist [d-Lys-3]-GHRP-6 or BIM28163. RIA and real-time PCR data showed that the levels of ghrelin in the plasma, stomach and ghrelin mRNA in the Arc increased at first but decreased later and the expression of GHSR-1a mRNA in the Arc maintained a low level in DM rats. The present findings indicate that ghrelin could regulate the activity of GD sensitive neurons and gastric motility via ghrelin receptors in the Arc. The reduced effects of promoting gastric motility induced by ghrelin could be connected with the decreased expression of ghrelin receptors in the Arc in diabetes. Our data provide new experimental evidence for the role of ghrelin in gastric motility disorder in diabetes.     

Downregulation of microRNA-23b protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury via p53 signaling pathway by upregulating MDM4 in rats

Total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed safe procedure and typically executed in severe knee arthritis, but it also triggers ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). More recently, microRNAs (miRs) have been reported to play a contributory role in IRI through the key signaling pathway. Hence, the current study aimed to investigate the effect and specific mechanism of microRNA-23b (miR-23b), murine double minute 4 (MDM4), and the p53 signaling pathway in IRI rat models. First, the IRI model was established, and the expression pattern of miR-23b, MDM4, and the p53 signaling pathway-related genes was characterized in cartilaginous tissues. Then, miR-23b mimics or inhibitors were applied for the elevation or the depletion of the miR-23b expression and siRNA-MDM4 for the depletion of the MDM4 expression in the articular chondrocytes. By means of immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis, IRI rats exhibited increased miR-23b expression, activated p53 signaling pathway, and decreased MDM4 expression. MDM4 was verified as a target gene of miR-23b through. Downregulated miR-23b increased the expression of MDM4, AKT, and Bcl-2, but decreased the expression of p53, p21, and Bax. In addition, a series of cell experiments demonstrated that downregulated miR-23b promoted articular chondrocyte proliferation and cell cycle entry, but inhibited articular chondrocyte apoptosis. The absence of the effects of miR-23b was observed after MDM4 knocked down. Our results indicate that silencing miR-23b could act to attenuate IRI and reduce the apoptosis of articular chondrocytes through inactivation of the p53 signaling pathway by upregulating MDM4, which provide basic therapeutic considerations for a novel target against IRI.     

脑室内注射一氧化氮供体及一氧化氮合酶抑制剂对室旁核大细胞自发电活动的作用

在乌拉坦麻醉的成年ＳＤ大鼠上,用玻璃微电极细胞外记录的方法,观察了脑室内注射一氧化氮供体及一氧化氮合酶抑制剂对室旁核大细胞自发电活动的作用。结果发现：脑室内注射一氧化氮供体硝普钠对下丘脑室旁核中的加压素神经元产生剂量依赖性抑制作用;脑室内注射一氧化氮合酶抑制剂对加压素神经元也产生抑制作用。上述两种药物对催产素神经元均无作用。这些结果提示：一氧化氮可能在调节加压素和催产素神经元活动中起着不同的作用。
