Influence of a Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor on the Anxiolytic, Stimulating, and Analgesic Effects of Long-Term Perinatal Caffeine Exposure in Rats

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We studied the effect of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) inhibitor aminoguanidine on the behavioral effects of chronic perinatal caffeine exposure. Administration of caffeine in the prenatal and early postnatal periods led to the development of anxiolytic, stimulating, and analgesic effects. Administration of aminoguanidine attenuated the anxiolytic and stimulating effects and potentiated the analgesic effect of perinatal administration of caffeine. Chronic perinatal administration of caffeine leads to significant changes in the level of anxiety, motor activity, and pain sensitivity, and inhibition of iNOS has a pronounced multidirectional effect on these effects.
