Nitric oxide (NO) is an important cell messenger that plays several pathophysiological functions. In the central nervous system (CNS) this gaseous molecule modulates the release of several neurotransmitters and mediates important effects, such as cell proliferation, LTP and dendritic sprout. Evidence has suggested that the nitrergic signaling imbalance may be associated to the etiology of…
Several studies have investigated the neurobiology of depression. However, that is a complex theme and important questions remain unclear. Nowadays, the investigation of new factors that can be involved in this disturb have elucidated some aspects. Several pieces of evidence suggest that nitric oxide could be involved in the genesis of depression. Nitric oxide synthase inhibition produces…
There is evidence indicating that L-arginine (a nitric oxide synthase substrate) administration induces biphasic effects in the forced swimming test. It suggests that nitric oxide could induce both antidepressant- and depressive-like effects. Moreover, our group has demonstrated that transgenic mice that present increased nitric oxide production in the frontal cortex present antidepressan…
