S-nitrosothiols exert multiple effects on neural processes in the central and peripheral nervous system. This study shows that intravenous infusion of S-nitroso-L-cysteine (SNO-L-CYS, 1 μmol/kg/min) in anesthetized male Sprague Dawley rats elicits (a) sustained increases in minute ventilation, via increases in frequency of breathing and tidal volume, (b) a decrease in Alveolar-arterial (A-a) gradient, thus improving alveolar gas-exchange, (c) concomitant changes in arterial blood-gas chemistry, such as an increase in pO |
