Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia is known to exert multiple protective effects related with nitric oxide (NO). However the effect of adaptation to hypoxia on NO metabolism has remained unclear in many respects. In the present work we studied the interrelation between NO production and storage in the process of adaptation to hypoxia. The NO production was determined by the total nitrite/nitrate concentration in rats plasma. The volume of NO store was evaluated in vitro by the magnitude of isolated aorta relaxation to diethyldithiocarbamate. It was shown that both the nitrite/nitrate level and the NO store increased as adaptation to hypoxia developed. Furthermore, the NO store volume significantly correlated with plasma nitrite/nitrate. Therefore, adaptation to hypoxia stimulates NO production and storage and these effects can potentially underlie NO-dependent beneficial effects of adaptation.
