摘要
Variations occurring in cortical nitric oxide (NO) release were analysed with a voltametric method in rats (i) placed in control conditions, (ii) while being paradoxical sleep deprived (PSD), or (iii) recovering from a PSD. Activities of neuronal (nNOS) and inducible (iNOS) NO-synthases as well as nNOS expression were also determined in several brain regions. In baseline conditions, circadian variations in nNOS expression and activity were maximal during the dark period and minimal during the light one for all the structures analysed (frontal cortex, pons and medulla). In the same way, cortical NO release occurred through a circadian rhythm exhibiting maxima and minima during dark and light periods, respectively. In the same experimental conditions, iNOS activity did not exhibit time-dependent changes. The correlative changes observed in baseline conditions between NO release, nNOS expression and activity within the frontal cortex were disrupted during PSD and subsequent recovery. Still again, iNOS activity remained unchanged. Results obtained point out that the tight coupling existing in control conditions between nNOS expression-activity and NO release is disrupted by a PSD and remains affected during the subsequent 24 h recovery. Their significance is discussed.
