Endogenous nitric oxide counteracts antigen-induced bronchoconstriction.

Abstract:

:In anesthetized, artificially ventilated guinea pigs immunized against ovalbumin, challenge with aerosolized ovalbumin (0.1 mg) elicited a substantial and sustained increase of insufflation pressure. The inhibitor of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, L-NAME (N omega-nitro-L-arginine methylester, 30 mg kg-1 i.v.), markedly augmented the response, the potentiation of which could be prevented by NO (20 p.p.m.) in the inhaled air. The results indicate an inhibitory effect of endogenous NO on antigen-induced bronchoconstriction.

  • Pilocarpine vs. lithium-pilocarpine for induction of status epilepticus in mice: development of spontaneous seizures, behavioral alterations and neuronal damage.

    abstract::In recent years, the pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy has become the most popular and widely used rodent model of this common and difficult-to-treat type of epilepsy. In this model, the cholinomimetic convulsant pilocarpine is used to induce a status epilepticus, which is followed by hippocampal damage and ...
