We aimed to investigate effect of temperature on the jugular levels of nitric oxide (NO) at reperfusion after focal cerebral ischemia. Both nitrosyl hemoglobin (HbNO) (2.5 +/- 0.4 microM) and plasma nitrite plus nitrate levels (61 +/- 5 microM) in rats under normothermia (approximately 37 degrees C) after 30 min of reperfusion following 2 h of left middle cerebral artery occlusion were significantly high, compared with sham operated rats (1.3 +/- 0.1 microM, 40 +/- 4 microM, respectively). Both HbNO (1.5 +/- 0.3 microM) and nitrite plus nitrate levels (43 +/- 7 microM) under moderate hypothermia (approximately 32 degrees C) were significantly low, compared with normothermic rats. HbNO (2.8 +/- 0.8 microM) and nitrite plus nitrate levels (65 +/- 8 microM) under mild hyperthermia (approximately 39 degrees C) were not significantly high. These results firstly demonstrated that hypothermia suppresses the elevation in intrajugular NO after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

D009566 Nitrates Inorganic or organic salts and esters of nitric acid. These compounds contain the NO3- radical. Nitrate
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
