THE present study was designed to test the hypothesis that nitric:oxide (NO) plays a role in 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG)-induced hypothermia. The body temperature of awake, unrestrained rats was measured before and after the administration of 2-DG, or NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; a non-selective NOS inhibitor) or both treatments together. We observed a significant reduction in body temperature after 2-DG injection. L-NAME alone caused no significant change in body temperature. When the two treatments were combined, a-reduction in the magnitude of 2-DG-induced hypothermia was observed. The neuronal NOS inhibitor 7-nitroindazole also inhibited 2-DG-induced hypothermia.:The data indicate that NO, probably produced by neuronal NOS, plays a role in 2-DG-induced hypothermia.
