Effect of nitric oxide donors on endogenous dopamine release from rat striatal slices. I: Requirement to antioxidants in the medium

Abstract

Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) significantly decreased basal dopamine (DA) release when rat striatal slices were incubated in a physiological medium deficient in antioxidants. Depolarization-induced DA release (KCl 25 mM), which was accompanied with a 85% decline in tissue DA levels, was also inhibited by SNP and hydroxylamine (HA). Contrary to these findings, SNP did not protect the slices against depolarization-induced DA depletion. With HA, moreover, tissue DA levels were found to be depleted more than the control levels, indicating that DA, which is released from or stored in the slices, might be converted to an undetectable product under these conditions. Supporting this conclusion, incubation of the DA standards with SNP caused a dose-dependent loss in DA levels, an effect that was reversed partially by oxyhemoglobin and inhibited completely by antioxidants. Consistently, both SNP and HA, but not L-arginine, significantly increased basal DA release when striatal slices were incubated in antioxidants-containing medium. These results indicate that nitric oxide (NO), which is generated from SNP and HA by different mechanisms, stimulates DA release from rat striatal slices. Observation of this effect, however, requires the presen...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
