Hypoglycemia increases ventral hypothalamic nNOS activity. A: Ventral hypothalamic constitutive (e/nNOS) or inducible (iNOS) NOS activity from rats injected subcutaneously with saline (control, n = 6) or insulin (2 units/kg; n = 6) 60 min after injection. B: Representative Western blot (left panel) of ventral hypothalamic total nNOS, phosphorylated nNOS (P-nNOS), total eNOS, and P-eNOS from control or insulin-treated rats injected subcutaneously with saline (n = 5) or insulin (n = 5) 60 min after injection. The right panel shows the quantification of the ratio between P-nNOS or P-eNOS and total nNOS or eNOS, respectively. Data are means ± SEM and represented as percentage of saline where the control group was considered to be 100%. *P < 0.05 vs. control (unpaired t test).
