Title: | Involvement of nitric oxide in noradrenaline-induced changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation in rat brown adipose tissue and heart | Authors: | Perovic, Andrej Vuckovic, Tamara Cvijic, Gordana Đorđević, Jelena Davidović, Vukosava |
Keywords: | Antioxidant enzymes;Brown adipose tissue;Heart;L-NAME;Noradrenaline | Issue Date: | 24-Jun-2008 | Journal: | Physiological Research | Abstract: | The effect of exogenous noradrenaline (NA) (1.6 mg.kg-1 i.p., 35 min prior sacrifice) on the activity of antioxidant enzymes (AOE) copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as lipid peroxides (LP) concentration were studied in the rat interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) and heart of saline (controls) and Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) treated rats (10 mg.kg-1, i.p., during 3 days and 20 min before NA). NA differently affects both AOE activities and LP production in the IBAT and heart. Thus, NA inhibited the activity of all IBAT AOE and LP production while in the heart it markedly increased CAT activity only, but had no effect on any of SODs activities and LP concentration. L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase blocker, completely abolished the NA-induced inhibition of the IBAT AOE and LP production, whereas in the heart it was without effect. In conclusion, these results indicate that both NA and L-NAME effects on AOE activity and LP production are tissue specific and also suggest that nitric oxide mediates the NA-induced inhibition of AOE activity and LP production in the IBAT only. |
