Title: Nitric oxide and its neurophysiologic role Objectives: The main aim of my diploma work is to evaluate the role of nitric oxide and its effects during epileptic seizure in rats. I summarize the present knowledge about nitric oxide and its effects on human organism in the theoretical section of this paper and I will suppose the positive effect of nitric oxide inhibitor in epileptic seizures in rats by the realization of my experiment. Methods: The experiment will be performed in the laboratory of Academy of Science of Czech Republic. Implementation will come through examining a set of ten rats. The first six will be given v (L-NPA) in an amount of 0,5mg to one side, which will take place by applying bilaterally to coele. Then after ten minutes 0,5µl of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) will be applied bilaterally to coele. The control group, consisting of four rats will be given saline instead of L-NPA. The experiment will run for two days. Results: The course of epileptic seizure with application of L-NPA to examined group was compared with the control group. The experiment confirmed the positive effect of L-NPA in terms of delay and reduction of seizure. Keywords: nitric oxide, Nω -propyl-l-arginine, neurovascular coupling, 4-anopyridine, epilepsy
