Abstract:
:Intravascular coagulation is involved in the development of certain types of liver injury, including that induced by dimethylnitrosamine. Nitric oxide inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion; however, its role in protecting against intravascular coagulation has not been clarified. We therefore investigated the effect of blocking the production of NO in a dimethylnitrosamine-induced liver injury model. Wistar male rats received dimethylnitrosamine (50 micrograms/kg) intraperitoneally, and were treated with N omega-nitro-L-arginine, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, or N omega-nitro-D-arginine, an inactive isomer. Each arginine derivative (40 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally every 6 h. Twenty-four hours after dimethyl-nitrosamine administration, we observed a significant increase in the serum level of alanine aminotransferase in the N omega-nitro-L-arginine group compared with the N omega-nitro-D-arginine group. The N omega-nitro-L-arginine-treated group also exhibited a significant reduction in platelet count, a prolongation of prothrombin time, and an elevation of plasma soluble fibrin monomer complex levels. Sinusoidal congestion, intravascular coagulation, and coagulation necrosis around the central veins were prominent in the N omega-nitro-L-arginine group. In conclusion, the inhibition of nitric oxide production exacerbated the hepatic damage induced by dimethylnitrosamine, mediated by the acceleration of intravascular coagulation.
