摘要
This paper discusses in vivo detection of nitric oxide (NO) distribution in endotoxin-treated mice using L-band (1.1 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) in combination with the hydrophilic NO trapping complex: N-methyl-D-glucamine dithiocarbamate and iron (MGD-Fe). MGD-Fe-NO complex is found in the upper abdomen (liver region), lower abdomen (kidney and urinary bladder) and head region of ICR mice. Experiments with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition and N-15-labeled L-arginine as NOS substrate verify the origin of trapped NO from L-arginine. However, contribution from a 'nonenzymatic' NO generation pathway can not be ruled out. This paper further examines potential artifacts, which may arise in experiments using dithiocarbamate-iron complexes as NO trapping agents.
