ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effects of forced swimming on NO and NOS in brain of mice. Method: Sixty mice were assigned into three groups randomly two stress groups, the content of NO and NOS were determined at 1hour and 2 hours after forced swimming respectively, and one control group. NO was tested by chromatic comparison. NOS was tested by enzyme assay. Results: The level of NO in stress group tested at 1 hour was significantly lower than that in control group (17.38 ?5.63/27.47?15.16 (mol/gprot, t=2.67, p
