Research Abstract |
Stress is one of the important factors to activate the sympathetic nervous system. In this study, I investigated whether brain COX and NOS can mediate restraint stress-induced sympathetic activation in rats. The present results suggest that COX-1, COX-2 and inducible NOS, but not neuronal NOS, in the presympathetic PVN neurons mediate acute restraint stress-induced sympathetic activation.
