Abstract
The rats with neurodegenerative brain disorder induced by administration of a toxic fragment of β-amyloid demonstrate weakened endothelium-dependent dilation of cerebral vessels, which attested to impaired production of endothelial NO. At the same time, toxic β-amyloid fragment induced the formation of NO depots in the walls of cerebral vessels, which indirectly attests to NO overproduction in the brain tissue. Preadaptation to hypoxia prevented endothelial dysfunction and improved the efficiency of NO storage. Our results suggest that adaptation to hypoxia protects the brain from various changes in NO production during neurodegenerative damage.
