Brain cortex temperature and heart rate in newborn rats after influencing endogenous nitric oxide synthesis
2016
Abstract
Possible role of gaseous messenger and/or neuromodulator, nitric oxide (NO), in regulation of brain cortical and body temperature of laboratory rat pups was evaluated. Measurement of temperature (and heart rate) after intervention in NO metabolism confirmed its effects which revealed a complex consequences in various tissues (especially in the vascular endothelium and neurons).
