摘要：

1. The time course of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in neuronal, endothelial, and glial cells in the rat striatum after middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion and reperfusion was examined using a histochemical NADPH-diaphorase staining method. 2. In sham-operated rats, neuronal cells of the striatum exhibited strong NADPH-diaphorase activities. When rats were subjected to MCA occlusion for 1 hr, neuronal damage, including neurons with positive NADPH-diaphorase activities, appeared in the striatum at 3 hr after and extended to all areas of the striatum 3-4 days after reperfusion. 3. NADPH-diaphorase activities in the endothelial cells increased in the damaged part of striatum from 3 hr after, peaked at 1-2 days after MCA occlusion/reperfusion, then gradually decreased. 4. In parallel with the development of neuronal damage, some astrocytes and a high proportion of microglia/macrophages located in the perisite and in the center of the damaged striatum, respectively, exhibited a moderate to high level of NADPH-diaphorase activities. Most of these activities disappeared at 4 days after MCA occlusion. 5. These findings provided evidence that an inappropriate activation of NOS in endothelial cells and microglia/macrophages, in response to MCA. occlusion/reperfusion, is closely associated with initiation and progression of ischemic neuronal injury in the striatum.
