Abstract

The potential of nitric oxide (NO) to influence positively or negatively the outcome of mechanically induced focal cerebral ischemia is still controversial. Recent evidence suggests that NO of vascular origin, whether synthesized from exogenously administered L-arginine (L-Arg) or from NO donor compounds, is beneficial but that of neuronal origin is not. However, the therapeutic potential of NO to ameliorate stroke induced by arterial thrombosis has not been reported. We assessed the therapeutic effect of L-Arg administration in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) subjected to permanent photothrombotic occlusion of the distal middle cerebral artery (dMCA). The ipsilateral carotid artery was left unligated to enhance L-Arg delivery into the putative penumbral region. Local CBF (LCBF) was assessed at 30 min by the [14C]iodoantipyrine technique (n = 9), while histological infarct volumes and index of peripheral ischemic cell change were determined at 3 days (n = 7). Rats (n = 9) given 300 mg/kg L-Arg at 18 and 3 h before photothrombotic dMCA occlusion and at 5 min afterward displayed no significant differences in LCBF compared with animals (n = 8) injected with water (the carrier vehicle) and similarly irradiated. Infarct volume...Continue Reading
