AB  - Background/Aim. Exposure  of  living  organisms  to  γ- radiation results in the overproduction of free radicals. The  aim of the study was to test if the subacute administration  of micronized zeolite (MZC) accomplishes radioprotective  role based on the evaluation of the status of oxidative stress  (OS) in the brain and 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OH-dG)  in  the plasma of the rats exposed to the single γ-ray irradiation  of 2 and/or 10 Gray (Gy). Methods. Wistar rats were on a  four-week normal or 5% MZC supplemented diet and af- terward exposed to the single γ-ray irradiation  of 2 and 10  Gy. Groups of rats were: a) on a normal diet (the control  group, and 2Gy and 10Gy groups); b) on 5% MZC supple- mented diet (the control group –  MZC, MZC  +  2Gy, and  MZC + 10Gy  groups).  We  measured  malondialdehyde  (MDA), glutathione (GSH) total, and activity of total super- oxide  dismutase  (tSOD)  and  manganese  superoxide  dis- mutase (MnSOD)  in vulnerable brain regions (cerebellum,  hippocampus, and cerebral cortex) and 8-OH-dG in plasma.  Results.  Lower MDA was found in the MZC+2Gy and  MZC+10Gy  groups  compared  to  the  2Gy  and  10Gy  groups.  Activity  od  total  SOD  was  higher  in  the  MZC+10Gy group  than in the 10Gy  one. GSH was the  highest in the 10Gy group. Compared to the control group,  8-OH-dG was extremely higher in groups radiated with 10  Gy regardless of a diet, but slightly lower in the MZC+2Gy  and 2Gy groups. Conclusion. Subacute MZC pretreatment  accomplished partial radioprotective effect in irradiated rats  compared to non-irradiated rats, based on suppressed SOD  activity at 2 Gy, and reduced brain MDA when exposed to 2  Gy and 10 Gy.

Cilj istraživanja  je bio da se ispita da li subakutna ishrana  dopunjena  sa 5%  mikronizovanog zeolita (MZC) ispoljava radiozaštitnu ulogu  na osnovu statusa oksidativnog stresa (OS) u mozgu i 8- hidroksiguanozina  (8-OH-dG)  u  plazmi  pacova  izloženih  pojedinačnim dozama jonizujućeg zračenja od 2 i 10 Gray  (Gy).  Metode.  Wistar  pacovi  su  bili  na  četvoronedeljnoj  normalnoj ishrani ili ishrani obogaćenoj sa 5% MZC, posle  čega su bili izloženi pojedinačnom jonizujućem zračenju od  2  Gy,  odnosno  10  Gy.  Grupe  pacova  bile  su:  a)  gru pa  pacova na normalnoj ishrani (kontrolna grupa i grupe 2Gy i  10Gy); b) grupa pacova na ishrani obogaćenoj sa 5%  MZC  (kontrolna  grupa  – MZC  i  grupe  MZC+2Gy  i   MZC+10Gy).  Meren  je  malondialdehid  (MDA),  glutation  (GSH)  i  aktivnost  ukupne  (tSOD)  i  mangan  superoksid  dizmutaze  (MnSOD)  u  osetljivim  strukturama  mozga  (cerebelum, hipokampus i cerebralni korteks), a 8-OH-dG u  plazmi.  Rezultati. Biomarker  MDA  je  bio  niži  u  MZC+2Gy i MZC+10Gy grupama, u odnosu na grupe 2Gy  i  10Gy.  Aktivnost  ukupne SOD  je  bila  viša  u  grupi  MZC+10Gy, u odnosu na grupu 10Gy. Najviši nivo GSH  bio je u grupi 10Gy. U pređenju sa kontrolnom grupom, 8- OH-dG je bio izuzetno viši u grupama ozračenim sa 10 Gy,  bez obzira na dijetetski režim i niži u grupama MZC+2Gy i  2Gy.  Zaključak. Pacovi  koji  su  bili  na  režimu  ishrane  obogaćene  sa  5%  MZC  bili  su  delimično  zaštićeni  od  zračenja, shodno redukovanoj moždanoj aktivnosti SOD pri  2  Gy i sniženom nivou MDA pri izlaganju zračenju od 2 i  10 Gy.

AB  - Cortical theta burst stimulation (TBS) structured as intermittent (iTBS) and continuous (cTBS)could prevent the progression of the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The interplayof brain antioxidant defense systems against free radicals (FRs) overproduction induced by EAE,as well as during iTBS or cTBS, have not been entirely investigated.  This study aimed to examinewhether oxidative-nitrogen stress (ONS) is one of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms ofEAE, which may be changed in terms of health improvement by iTBS or cTBS. Dark Agouti strainfemale rats were tested for the effects of EAE and TBS. The rats were randomly divided into the controlgroup, rats specifically immunized for EAE and nonspecifically immuno-stimulated with CompleteFreund’s adjuvant. TBS or sham TBS was applied to EAE rats from 14th–24th post-immunizationday. Superoxide dismutase activity, levels of superoxide anion (O2•–), lipid peroxidation, glutathione(GSH), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR)activity were analyzed in rat spinal cords homogenates. The severity of EAE clinical coincided withthe climax of ONS. The most critical result refers to TrxR, which immensely responded against theapplied stressors of the central nervous system (CNS), including immunization and TBS. We foundthat the compensatory neuroprotective role of TrxR upregulation is a positive feedback mechanismthat reduces the harmfulness of ONS. iTBS and cTBS both modulate the biochemical environmentagainst ONS at a distance from the area of stimulation, alleviating symptoms of EAE. The results ofour study increase the understanding of FRs’ interplay and the role of Trx/TrxR in ONS-associatedneuroinflammatory diseases, such as EAE. Also, our results might help the development of new ideasfor designing more effective medical treatment, combining neuropsychological with noninvasiveneurostimulation–neuromodulation techniques to patients living with MS.

AB  - This study was aimed to study the potentially beneficial effects of agmatine on oxidative/nitrosative stress development in the brain of Wistar rats during subacute chlorpromazine treatment. The animals were divided into control (0.9% saline), chlorpromazine (38.7 mg/kg b.w.), chlorpromazine+agmatine (agmatine 75 mg/kg b.w. immediately after chlorpromazine, 38.7 mg/ kg b.w. i.p.) and agmatine (75 mg/kg b.w.) groups. All the tested substances were administered intraperitoneally for 15 consecutive days and the rats were sacrificed by decapitation on day 15. Subacute administration of chlorpromazine resulted in increased lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide concentration and superoxide anion production, while completely damaging the antioxidant defence system in the cerebral cortex, striatum, and hippocampus. However, the combined treatment with chlorpromazine and agmatine significantly attenuated the oxidative/nitrosative stress indices and restored the antioxidant capacity to the control values in all of the examined brain regions. Western blot analysis supported biochemical findings in all groups, but the most notable changes were found in the hippocampus. Our results suggest potentially beneficial effects of agmatine, which may be useful in the modified antioxidant approach in chlorpromazine-therapy.

AB  - Biocompatibility of dental materials (DM) can be evaluated by gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) oxidative stress (OS) status. The goal of the study was to ascertain influence of dental caries degree, teeth position, and type and amount of applied DM on GCF OS profile. For this purpose, we tested six DMs that were sealed in one session: amalgam (Amg), composites: Tetric EvoCeram and Beautifil (BF), phosphate cement-zinc phosphate and polycarboxylate cements zinc polycarboxylate cements, and glass ionomer cement (GIC). The study included 88 dental outpatients. Follow-up was scheduled at 7th and 30th day. Oxidative stress parameters (malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels and total superoxide dismutase (tSOD) activity) were measured before (0th day) and after the treatment (7th and 30th day) in GCF. Control teeth were mirror-positioned healthy teeth. The DM accomplished the following effects (listed in descending order): increase of GSH in GCF was realized by ZPoC > BF > GIC > Amg; tSOD activity increase by ZPoC > BF > Amg; and MDA decrease by ZPoC > ZPhC > Amg > TEC. Dental caries provokes insignificant rise of OS in GCF. ZPoC and ZPhC showed the highest antioxidant effect, contrary to GIC. Restorations with antioxidant properties may reduce gum diseases initiated by caries lesion, what is of great clinical relevance in dentistry.

AB  - Background: Overproduction of free radicals accompanied with their insufficient removal/neutralization by antioxidative defense system impairs redox hemostasis in living organisms. Oxidative stress has been shown to be involved in all the stages of carcinogenesis and malignant melanocyte transformation. The aim of this study was to examine association between oxidative stress development and different stages of melanoma. Methods: The measured oxidative stress parameters included: superoxide anion radical, total and manganese superoxide dismutase, catalase and malondialdehyde. Oxidative stress parameters were measured spectrophotometrically in serum samples from melanoma patients (n=72) and healthy control subjects (n=30). Patients were classified according to AJCC clinical stage. Results: Average superoxide anion and malondialdehyde concentrations were significantly higher in melanoma patients than in control group, with the highest value of superoxide anion in stage III, while malondialdehyde highest value was in stage IV. The activity of total and manganese superoxide dismutase was insignificantly higher in melanoma patients than in control group, while catalase activity was significantly higher. The highest activity of total superoxide dismutase was in stage III, while the highest activity of manganese superoxide dismutase was in stage IV. Catalase activity was increasing with the disease progression achieving the maximum in stage III. Conclusions: Results of our study suggest that melanoma is oxidative stress associated disease, as well as deteriorated cell functioning at mitochondrial level.

AB  - The aim of the study was to investigate if alcohol and disulfiram (DSF) individually and in combination affect bioelements' and red-ox homeostasis in testes of the exposed rats. The animals were divided into groups according to the duration of treatments (21 and/or 42 days): C-21/C-42 groups (controls); OL21 and OL22-42 groups (0.5 mL olive oil intake); A(1-21) groups (3 mL 20% ethanol intake); DSF1-21 groups (178.5 mg DSF/kg/day intake); and A(21)+DSF22-42 groups (the DSF ingestion followed previous 21 days' treatment with alcohol). The measured parameters in testes included metals: zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg) and selenium (Se); as well as oxidative stress (OS) parameters: superoxide anion radical (O-2(center dot-)), glutathione reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG), malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposition and activities of total superoxide dismutase (tSOD), glutathione-Stransferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR). Metal status was changed in all experimental groups (Fe rose, Zn fell, while Cu increased in A(21)+DSF24-32 groups). Development of OS was demonstrated in A(1-21) groups, but not in DSF1-21 groups. In A(21)+DSF22-42 groups, OS was partially reduced compared to A groups (A(1-21)>MDA>C; A(1-21) lt GSH lt C). High metal-binding affinity of DSF/DDTC changes red-ox homeostasis in rat testes.

AB  - Examination of cadmium (Cd) toxicity and disulfiram (DSF) effect on liver was focused on oxidative stress (OS), bioelements status, morphological and functional changes. Male Wistar rats were intraperitoneally treated with 1mg CdCl2/kg BW/day; orally with 178.5 mg DSF/kg BW/day for 1, 3, 10 and 21 days; and co-exposed from 22nd to 42nd day. The co-exposure nearly restored previously suppressed total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and increased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities; increased previously reduced glutathione reductase (GR) and total glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities; reduced previously increased superoxide anion radical (O-2(center dot-)) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels; increased zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), and decreased copper (Cu) (yet above control value), while magnesium (Mg) was not affected; and decreased serum alanine aminotransferases (ALT) levels. Histopathological examination showed signs of inflammation process as previously demonstrated by exposure to Cd. Overall, we ascertained partial liver redox status improvement, compared with the formerly Cd-induced impact.

AB  - The aim of our work was to optimize and apply simple high-performance liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) for simultaneous determination of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione in biological matrix (specifically, the rat liver tissue was used herein), since the ratio between oxidized and reduced glutathione forms (GSSG-GSH) has been recognized as an important biological marker of oxidatively depleted GSH in oxidative stress (OS)-associated diseases and poisonings. An isocratic chromatographic separation of GSH and GSSG (2.8 min and 6.3 min, respectively) was performed with the mobile phase consisted of sodium perchlorate solution (pH adjusted to 2.8) at flow rate of 1 mL min(-1), detection set at 215 nm, and column temperature of 40 degrees C. The method offers short run time, linearity in the range of 0.01-200 mu M concentration for both compounds (R-2 = 1), low limits of detection and quantification (GSH: 0.18 mu M and 0.56 mu M, GSSG: 0.52 mu M and 1.58 mu M, respectively), precision, accuracy (bias  lt 2%), and high reproducibility. Through suitable sample handling, an overestimation of GSSG was prevented. High recovery (>99%) was achieved. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of GSH and GSSG in liver homogenates of Wistar rats intraperitoneally exposed to cadmium (Cd) (1 mg kg(-1) CdCl2/21 days). Regardless of other Cd-mediated hepatotoxicity mechanisms, herein, we have exclusively interpreted/emphasized oxidative GSH depletion. The presented method is acceptable for a routine analysis of GSH and GSSG in biological matrix, while the calculated ratio GSSG-GSH is considered as a valuable OS marker.

AB  - Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) induces changes in expression of proteins engaged in activity of excitatory and inhibitory systems as well as redox homeostasis. Our aim was to investigate the effect of single (SS) and repeated session (RS) of intermittentand continuous theta-burst stimulation (iTBS; cTBS) on the expression of vesicular and plasmatic glutamate transporters 1 (vGluT1 and GLT-1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and influence on oxidative status in rats cerebellar tissue and plasma. Redox state parameters in cerebellar tissue and plasma were assessed 24 h after single and 48 h after the last TBS session. Molecular changes were examined by immunofluorescence. Stimulation significantly increased thiol groups (SH) in tissue of SS iTBS group, and decreased in iTBS RS. Activity of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) was increased markedly in cTBS RS. Immunoreactivity of vGluT1 in cTBS RS decreased, while GLT-1 increased in cTBS SS and cTBS RS, compared to control. Present study gives insight in molecular and biochemical mechanisms by which iTBS and cTBS exerts its effects on rats cerebellar cortex.

Our aim was to investigate the effect of single (SS) and repeated session (RS) of intermittentand continuous theta-burst stimulation (iTBS; cTBS) on the expression of vesicular and plasmatic glutamate transporters 1 (vGluT1 and GLT-1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and influence on oxidative status in rats cerebellar tissue and plasma. Redox state parameters in cerebellar tissue and plasma were assessed 24 h after single and 48 h after the last TBS session. Molecular changes were examined by immunofluorescence. Stimulation significantly increased thiol groups (SH) in tissue of SS iTBS group, and decreased in iTBS RS. Activity of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) was increased markedly in cTBS RS. Immunoreactivity of vGluT1 in cTBS RS decreased, while GLT-1 increased in cTBS SS and cTBS RS, compared to control. Present study gives insight in molecular and biochemical mechanisms by which iTBS and cTBS exerts its effects on rats cerebellar cortex.",

AB  - Diquat (DQ) neurotoxicity mechanisms are unknown, although, it's systemic toxicity is mediated by free radical reactions. The role of glutathione cycle was assessed by glutathione reductase (GR) applied in the pre-treatment of DQ poisoning. Wistar rats were used and tested compounds were administered intrastriatally (i.s.) in one single dose. Total glutathione (tGSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were measured in the vulnerable brain regions (VBRs) (striatum, hippocampus and cortex), at 30 minutes, 24 hours and 7 days post treatment. Results from the intact and the sham operated groups were not statistically different. Rapid spatial spreading of oxidative stress was confirmed in the examined VBRs.. Mortality (30-40%, within 24hrs) and signs of lethargy were observed in the DQ group. Activity of GPx activity was elevated and GSSG/GSH was higher in the examined VBRs during the experiment, compared to the controls. The i.s. pre-treatment with GR achieved neuroprotective role against DQ induced neurotoxicity, based on animal survival, absence of lethargy and decreased GPx activity and GSSG/GSH in the examined VBRs during the experiment, compared to the DQ group. Our results confirmed that oxidation of GSH was the reason for the reduced antioxidative defense against DQ neurotoxicity.

AB  - Introduction: Contact herbicide diquat (DQ), redox cycling compound, mediates its systemic toxicity throughout the enlarged production of free radicals. Target organs are liver and kidney in humans. To-date, the mechanism of DQ-induced neurotoxicity has not been rationalized. Objective: The objectives of the study were to examine the ability of DQ to induce oxidative stress (OS) and/or nitrosative stress (NS) upon intrastriatal (i.s.) administration and to investigate the role of nitric oxide (NOx) using NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the pretreatment of DQ i.s. administration. Material and Methods: The experiment was conducted on Wistar rats, randomly divided in experimental groups, receiving different treatments i.s. applied. Parameters of OS/NS such as: superoxide anion radical (O-2(center dot-)), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrates (NO3-) were measured in the cortex (bilaterally), at 30th min, 24 hours and 7 days after the treatments. Results: Lethargy and high mortality rate were observed only in the DQ group (within 24 hours and 2-3 hours, respectively) after awakening from anesthesia. Markedly increased production of NOx and O-2(center dot-) along with elevated lipid peroxidation altogether contributed to DQ neurotoxicity. The most importantly, the L-NAME i.s. pretreatment protected treated animals from dying and diminished OS/NS response against DQ-induced neurotoxicity. Conclusion: The i.s. pretreatment with L-NAME resulted in neuroprotection against DQ neurotoxity, based on animal survival and reduced LPO in the cortex.

AB  - In this study we examined if the response of the cortex against diquat (DQ), intrastriatally (i.s.) applied to Wistar rats, was mediated by oxidative/nitrosative stress (OS/NS). In particular, we were focused on the glutathione (GSH) antioxidative role, thus we applied i.s. glutathione reductase (GR) in the pre-treatment of DQ administration. Superoxide anion radical (O2 •-), nitrate (NO3 -), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were measured in ipsi- and contra- lateral sides of the cortex, at 30 minutes, 24 hours and 7 days post treatment. The redox balance was not significantly changed in the cortex of sham operated and intact groups. Also, no differences were observed between the ipsi- and contra- lateral side of the cortex. Lethargy and mortality (30-40%) of the animals in the DQ group within 24 hrs, coincided with rapidly developed lipid peroxidation supported by OS/NS upon i.s. DQ administration. Strong redox potential of DQ probably resulted in a huge deprivation of molecular oxygen. The pretreatment with GR acted neuro-protectively, based on animal survival and absence of lethargy, although, lipid peroxidation was not developed in the GR+DQ group, OS was documented by a high concentration of O2 •- (within 24 hrs), descending and eventually inhibiting SOD activity (at 7 days).

AB  - Most commonly observed central nervous system (CNS) effects induced by systemic toxicity of herbicide diquat (DQ) are general depression and lethargy. Generally, it is accepted that DQ exerts its toxicity through the production of superoxide anion radical (O2 ●-) during its redox metabolism in the presence of molecular oxygen, which further initiates radical chain reaction, contributing developing of oxidative stress (OS) as well. Mechanisms of DQ neurotoxic effect is not rationalized till now. The objective of the study was to examine whether OS contributes to DQ neurotxicity. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were intrastriataly (i.s.) treated with DQ and oxidative status parameters such as: superoxide anion radical (O2 ●-); nitrates (NO3 -), as a final metabolite of reactive nitogen species; malondialdehyde (MDA), an indicator of lipid peroxidation; activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD); glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione (GSH), were measured in the hippocampus at 30 minutes, 24 hours and 7 days post treatment. Noteworthy, mortality rate (30 - 40 %) was observed in the group of rats treated with DQ, within 2-3 hours after awakening from anesthesia. Additionally, lethargy was the only neurological symptom observed in that group.

In order to investigate the role of NOx in oxidative stress (OS) and/or nitrosative stress (NS) response to PQ neurotoxicity, we used NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the pretreatment of PQ administration. Study was conducted on Wistar rats randomly divided in groups (n=8 for controls and n=24 for experimental groups) depending on the applied treatments. The tested compounds were intrastriatally (i.s.) administered. Measuring of GSH content and GPx activity was performed at 30 min, 24 hours and 7 days after treatments. Parkinsonism’s like symptoms were observed only in the group of rats treated with PQ. The L-NAME protected animals from PQ-induced neurotoxicity, which could be concluded from the absence of Parkinsonism’s like symptoms and reduced OS/NS response in the striatum of rats pretreated with L-NAME.

AB  - Paraquat (PQ), a widely used herbicide is a well-known free radical producing agent. The mechanistic pathways of PQ neurotoxicity were examined by assessing oxidative/nitrosative stress markers. Focus was on the role of glutathione (GSH) cycle and to examine whether the pre-treatment with enzyme glutathione reductase (GR) could protect the vulnerable brain regions (VBRs) against harmful oxidative effect of PQ. The study was conducted on Wistar rats, randomly divided in five groups: intact-control group, (n = 8) and four experimental groups (n = 24). All tested compounds were administered intrastriatally (i.s.) in one single dose. The following parameters of oxidative status were measured in the striatum, hippocampus and cortex, at 30 min, 24 h and 7 days post treatment: superoxide anion radical (O-2(center dot-)), nitrate (NO3-). malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total GSH (tGSH) and its oxidized, disulfide form (GSSG) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Results obtained from the intact and the sham operated groups were not statistically different, confirming that invasive i.s. route of administration would not influence the reliability of results. Also, similar pattern of changes were observed between ipsi- and contra- lateral side of examined VBRs, indicating rapid spatial spreading of oxidative stress. Mortality of the animals (10%), within 24 h, along with symptoms of Parkinsonism, after awakening from anesthesia for 2-3 h, were observed in the PQ group, only. Increased levels of O2(center dot-), NO3- and MDA, increased ratio of GSSG/GSH and considerably high activity of GPx were measured at 30 min after the treatment. Cytotoxic effect of PQ was documented by drastic drop of all measured parameters and extremely high peak of the ratio GSSG/GSH at 24th hrs after the PQ i.s. injection. In the GR + PQ group, markedly low activity of GPx and low content of NO3- (in striatum and cortex) were measured during whole experiment, while increase value was observed only for O-2(center dot-), at 7th days. We concluded that oxidative/nitrosative stress and excitotoxicity are the most important events since the early stage of PQ induced neurotoxicity. Based on the ratio GSSG/GSH, the oxidation of GSH to GSSG is probably dominant way of GHS depletion and main reason for reduced antioxidative defense against PQ harmful oxidative effect. The GR pre-treatment resulted in the absence of Parkinson's disease-like symptoms and mortality of the rats. Additionally, oxidative/nitrosative stress did not developed, as well as almost diminished metabolism of the VBRs at 24th hours (as has been documented in the PQgroup) did not occurred in the GR + PQ suggesting a neuroprotective role for the GR in PQ induced neurotoxicity.

AB  - Oxidative stress development in different brain structures and the influence of nitric oxide (NO) overproduction during sepsis was investigated using male Wistar rats. Rats were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or were sham-operated. To evaluate the source of NO production, 30 min before the operation septic and control animals were treated with single intraperitoneal doses of NO synthase (NOS) inhibitors: L-NAME and aminoguanidine (AG) (10, 30 or 90 mg/kg) and 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) (30 mg/kg). The concentration of GSH in the cortex, brain stem, cerebellum, striatum and hippocampus significantly decreased post CLP at both early and late stage sepsis. Lipid peroxidation also occurred in the cortex and cerebellum in late stage sepsis. Pre-treatment with a non-selective NOS inhibitor (L-NAME) and with selective inducible and neuronal NOS inhibitors (AG and 7-NI) revealed benefit effects on the GSH concentrations. Unexpectedly, NOS inhibition resulted in diverse effects on TBARS concentrations, suggesting the importance of specific quantities of NO in specific brain structures during sepsis.
