چکیده

introduction: the mechanisms of hepatic encephalopathy are not fully understood. moreover, there is no comprehensive data concerning the effects of nitric oxide (no) system on anxiolytic-like behaviors induced by bile duct ligation (bdl). methods: male mice weighing 25-30 g were used and anxiety-like behaviors were tested using hole-board task. results: the data indicated that cholestasis increased the number of head-dipping but did not alter other aspects of behavior, 7 days after bdl, suggesting an anxiolytic-like response. furthermore, the results showed that intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of l-arginine (200 and 250 mg/kg) 15 min before testing induced anxiolytic-like behaviors in the normal animals, 4 and 7 days after bdl (considering that the dose of 200 mg in the normal mice is ineffective but is effective in the bdl mice). on the other hand, injection of l-name (35 and 45 mg/kg, i.p.) 15 min before testing induced anxiogenic-like behaviors in the normal animals, 4 and 7 days after bdl (the dose of 35 mg/kg in the normal mice is ineffective but is effective in the bdl mice ). moreover, injection of ineffective doses of l-name (25 and 35 mg/kg, i.p.) 15 min before administration of l-arginine (250 mg/kg, i.p.) and 7 days after bdl, decreased anxiolytic-like behaviors, signi.cantly. discussion: cholestatic mice show anxiolytic-like behaviors suggesting the involvement of the nitric oxide system.

The effects of nicotine on nitric oxide induced anxiogenic-like behaviors in the dorsal hippocampus.

Nicotine, an active tobacco derived alkaloid, regulates the activity of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) as well as the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the nervous system. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and nNOS are abundantly co-expressed in the hippocampal neurons and are found to alter anxiety-like behaviors in rodents. Dorsal hippocampus may be a site for modulation of anxiety. ...

The Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide/Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor in Atropine-Induced Vasorelaxation

Atropine has been used to block cholinergic neurotransmission in basic research. Large doses of atropine cause vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin. This effect is apparently unconnected with the antimuscarinic activity of atropine and seems to be due to a direct action on the blood vessels. It has been suggested that atropine blocks muscarinic receptors at low doses and it induces th...

Antinociceptive Effect of Vardenafil on Carrageenan-Induced Hyperalgesia in Rat: Involvement of Nitric Oxide/Cyclic Guanosine monophosphate/ Calcium Channels Pathway

In this study, we aimed to investigate the peripheral antinociception effects of specificphosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor vardenafil on carrageenan-induced nociception in rats,and the role of calcium besides the L-arginine- nitric oxide (NO)- cyclic guanosine monophophate(cGMP) pathway in these effects. Hyperalgesia was induced by the intraplantar injection of 0.1mL fresh carrageenan solut...
