摘要
We examined the effects of water deprivation on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) gene expression in the rat hypothalamic paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic nuclei (SON), using in situ hybridization histochemistry. Dehydration caused a significant increase in NOS gene transcripts in the PVN and SON but not in the subfornical organ (SFO). The results suggest that dehydration has a major effect on the NOS gene expression in the PVN and SON.
