title: [The effects of n-stearoylethanolamine on the NO-synthase pathway of NO generation in the aorta and heart of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats].
abstract: The aim of the presented experiments was to study the influence of suturated NAE--N-stearoylethanolamine (NSE) on the NO synthesis by NO-synthases in aorta and heart tissues of rats with developmental (12-week) streptozotocin-induced (50 mg/kg of body weight) diabetes. Also we evaluated the state of endothelium-dependent relax reactions of aorta smooth muscles. It was shown that the development of diabetes is accompanied with disbalance of NO-synthesis wich consist in inducible NOS (iNOS) activation and inhibition of constitutive NOS (cNOS) and arginase activities. The aorta smooth muscle endothelium-dependent relax reactions were decreased in diabetic rats. The NSE administration to rats with development streptozotocin-induced diabetes resulted in inhibition of iNOS activity and elevation of cNOS and arginase activities in these tissues. Normalization of NO-synthesis under NSE action was accompanied with restoration of aorta smooth muscle endothelium-dependent relax reactions in diabetic rats.
