Variable impacts of L-arginine or L-NAME during early life on molecular and cellular markers of muscle growth mechanisms in rainbow trout
2020, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology -Part A : Molecular and Integrative PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :Perhaps the concentration of 2 mM/L Arg, chosen for its ability to stimulate in vitro the activation of mice satellite cells (Betters et al., 2008), was not sufficient to induce changes in vivo on the myogenic markers studied, or the duration of Arg treatment too short. We used embryonic L-NAME bath in order to determine if treatment of trout eggs with a NOS inhibitor would act on the fate of muscle precursor cells and on muscle cellularity, as it occurs in vivo in mice and rats injected intraperitoneally with L-NAME or fed with L-NAME in drinking water and in chick injected in ovo by NPLA (another NOS inhibitor) (Anderson, 2000; Carrazo et al., 2014; Tatsumi et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2001). We chose to use a low concentration of L-NAME (1 mM/L) as we did not want to alter embryo survival and this aim was attained, confirming previous results (Eddy et al., 1999), but this treatment did not alter neither the embryonic pattern of expression of myf5 and fmhc nor the number of white muscle fibres formed at hatching.
Chronic nitric oxide synthase inhibition does not impair upper airway muscle adaptation to chronic intermittent hypoxia in the rat
2014, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Chronic exercise training causes an upregulation of nNOS and increased enzyme activity in the diaphragm (Javeshghani et al., 2000). Chronic NOS blockade inhibits skeletal muscle adaptation to chronic endurance exercise and results in severe loss of walking speed in rats (Wang et al., 2001). nNOS−/− mice show decreased muscle endurance (Percival et al., 2008) and when nNOS knockouts are challenged with LPS, diaphragm dysfunction is exacerbated compared to control (Comtois et al., 2001).
Nitric oxide: Is it the cause of muscle soreness?
2012, Nitric Oxide - Biology and ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The induction of mechanical damage to gastrocnemius muscle has been shown to result in increased NO formation, which is believed to initiate a signaling process for damage repair [88]. In addition, the importance of NO to muscle function, has been demonstrated as NO inhibition resulted in severe reduction in walking speed of rats [89]. Therefore, one can suggest that NO, which is generated during muscle contraction as a result of nNO [29], eNO [90–92] and iNO [93,94] activation, could cause decreased force generation, pain as a protective mechanism but also obligatory to the repair process by satellite cell activation, proliferation, and fusion by the activating follistatin (Fig. 2).
