Abstract:
AIM To study the role of nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors during the early stage of focal cerebral ischemic injury in rats. METHODS The rat models of middle cerebral artery occlusion were established with the intraluminal suture method. The nonselective NOS inhibitor and selective inducible NOS inhibitor were used for investigating the effects of NO and NOS changes in the focal ischemic brain tissue and their respective roles during the early stage of focal cerebral ischemic injury. RESULTS This study showed that nonselective NOS inhibitors(N G nitro L arginine) aggravated brain damage in the early stage of focal cerebral ischemia and selective iNOS inhibitors (Aminoguanidine )did not significantly improve the brain damage , but could decrease markedly the deterioration of brain damage. CONCLUSION It may be concluded that the NO from defferent cells and types of NOS play unlike roles in the early stage of focal cerebral ischemic injury.
