Activities of nitric oxide (NO) synthases in the right and left parietal cortex of young adult and old rats exposed in response to forced locomotion. Activities of various NOS isoforms (A–C) are expressed as nmoles/30 min/mg of proteins. Results are presented as means ± SEM. Statistical significance (Student’s t-test) was calculated with respect to young adult controls (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01). RH—right hemisphere, LH—left hemisphere, nNOS—neuronal NOS, eNOS—endothelial NOS, iNOS—inducible NOS, FL—forced locomotion, YCTRL—young adult controls (n = 8), YFL—young adult rats exposed to FL (n = 10), OCTRL—old controls (n = 8), OFL—old rats exposed to FL (n = 9).
