PG - 42-6 AB - The nitrogen oxide NO-dependent regulation of the cerebral blood flow was studied before and after 24-hr head-down immobilization (HDI) of intact and pre-trained rats. Training consisted in 2-hr tail-suspension each day of the 2-wk period. Blood flow was determined with the laser Doppler flowmetry following local injection of a NO synthesis blocker (L-NAME), and NO (sodium nitroprusside). Neither HDI nor pre-training per se influenced NO tonic production in the cortex of large hemispheres and cerebellum. However, in pre-trained animals HDI resulted in a significant blood flow response to the local blockade of NO synthesis in the cerebellum. None of the animals changed the reaction of the blood flow to the local injection of sodium nitroprusside. The conclusion was drawn that alteration in the NO-dependent regulation of the brain blood flow in pre-trained animals could manifest of adaptation to HDI in the course of 24-hr suspension.
