摘要
The role of nitric oxide (NO) on the age-dependent selective vulnerability to the consequences of epileptic seizures was studied in 10-day old (P10) and 21-day old (P21) rats. At P10, the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine (LNA), increased severity of seizures while L-arginine (L-Arg), the NOS substrate, had no effect. At P21, L-Arg improved the outcome of seizures while LNA had no effect. These results demonstrated the age-dependent role of NO in epilepsy. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
