چکیده
BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) and cholecystokinin (CCK) are involved in the modulation of several neurotransmitter systems in the basal ganglia, and a functional interaction between their modulatory effects could be hypothesised. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied the effects exerted by the administration of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) (50 mg kg(-1) i.p.), a selective inhibitor of neuronal NO synthase, on the depth EEG activity of the striatum and of the globus pallidus in both not pre-treated and sulphated CCK octapeptide (CCK-SS)-treated (100 nM kg(-1) i.p.) rats. Striatal and pallidal depth EEG power spectra were examined by means of a Fast Fourier Transform analysis. RESULTS Striatal depth recordings showed a marked increase of % power of slow standard rhythms after 7-NI systemic treatment. In contrast, pallidal recordings revealed an increase of % power of rapid standard rhythms after i.p. injection of 7-NI. The same modifications were not evidenced in CCK-8S pre-treated rats after 7-NI administration. CONCLUSION The results show an influence exerted by peripheral CCK on the nitrergic modulation of the bioelectric activities of the striatum and of the globus pallidus. This effect could be of particular interest in the light of NO and CCK involvement in the neuroprotective mechanisms.

The effects of CCK-8S on spatial memory and long-term potentiation at CA1 during induction of stress in rats
Objective(s): Cholecystokinin (CCK) has been proposed as a mediator in stress. However, it is still not fully documented what are its effects. We aimed to evaluate the effects of systemic administration of CCK exactly before induction of stress on spatial memory and synaptic plasticity at CA1 in rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: the control, the control-C...
متن کاملAcute application of cholecystokinin and its effect on long-term potentiation induction at CA1 area of hippocampal formation in rat
Introduction: It has been demonstrated that cholecystokinin sulfated octapeptide (CCK-8s) can affect synaptic transmission in the hippocampus. Because one of the major experimental models to understand the events happening in synaptic plasticity is To Study the long-term potentiation (LTP), we decided to investigate the effect of concomitant administration of CCK-8s and tetanic stimulation of S...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that does not develop spontaneously in some animal species. PD can be induced experimentally in some laboratory animals including mouse, rat and horse. Globus pallidus (GP) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) are damaged in patients with PD. The hallmark of PD is a progressive impaired control of movement, an alteration of autonomic ...
