We examined the role of nitric oxide (NO) in adrenal catecholamine secretion in response to splanchnic nerve stimulation (SNS) and exogenous acetylcholine (ACh) in anesthetized dogs. The NO synthase inhibitor Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), NO donor 3-(2-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-nitrosohydrazino)-N-methyl-1-propanamin e (NOC 7), and ACh were administered intra-arterially into the adrenal gland. The increases in catecholamine output induced by ACh (0.75-3 microgram) were enhanced by L-NAME (0.1-1 mg/min) and inhibited by NOC 7 (0.2-2 microgram/min). Inhibition by NOC 7 (2 microgram/min) was observed during treatment with L-NAME (1 mg/min). The increases in catecholamine output induced by SNS (1-2 Hz) were inhibited by L-NAME and by NOC 7. No inhibitory effect of NOC 7 was observed during treatment with L-NAME. These results suggest that NO may play an inhibitory role in the regulation of adrenal catecholamine secretion in response to exogenous ACh.
