1 Nitrous oxide-induced c-Fos expression in the rat brain. Nitrous Oxide Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
2 N(2)O administration produced significant (P<0.05) dose-related increases of c-Fos expression in several forebrain regions, including the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, the thalamic paraventricular nucleus, the amygdala, and in retrosplenial cortex. Nitrous Oxide Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
3 In the midbrain, N(2)O caused significant dose-related c-Fos expression in the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. Nitrous Oxide Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
4 Finally, the pontine locus coeruleus, and two medullary regions, the nucleus of the solitary tract and ventrolateral medulla, also showed significant dose-related N(2)O-induced c-Fos expression. Nitrous Oxide Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
5 The overlapping pattern of c-Fos induced by ethanol and N(2)O suggests that these drugs may cause comparable central activity by acting on similar neuronal pathways. Nitrous Oxide Fos proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit Rattus norvegicus
