A decrease in constitutive NO synthase (cNOS) activity and an increase in inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activity occurred with an increase in myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, an index of neutrophil infiltration, in the gastric mucosa of rats with water immersion restraint (WIR) stress. This increase in gastric mucosal MPO activity was enhanced by pretreatment with NG-monomethyl L-arginine, a non-selective NOS inhibitor, but was prevented with maintenance of gastric mucosal cNOS activity by pretreatment with aminoguanidine, a selective iNOS inhibitor. The MPO activity was negatively correlated with the cNOS activity in all WIR-stressed rats used (r=-0.723). These results suggest that a decrease in cNOS activity could contribute to an increase in neutrophil infiltration in the gastric mucosa of WIR-stressed rats.
