Abstract: | In this study,cerebellar granule neurons were used to examine the role of nitric oxide on cell survival.The N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonist,MK-801,and the soluble guanylate cyclase antagonist,1H-1,2,4]oxadiazolo-4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one,decreased cell viability,induced caspase-3,and decreased phosphorylated-Akt levels,suggesting that blockade of nitric oxide production promotes apoptosis of differentiating cerebellar granule neurons.After administration of sodium nitroprusside,an endogenous ni... |
