Posttranslational Nitration of Tyrosine Residues Modulates Glutamate Transmission and Contributes to N-Methyl-D-aspartate-Mediated Thermal Hyperalgesia

Figure 6

Inhibition of NMDA-induced hyperalgesia by FeTM-4-PyP5+ (2 nmol, given 15 min before NMDA) modulates GS activity. The amount of glutamine is highly decreased in animals treated with NMDA while it is restored by FeTM-4-PyP5+ treatment. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM for 3 rats; compared to vehicle; * compared to NMDA alone.
