Mechanism of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation evoked by lysophosphatidylcholine.
Vasorelaxation induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and platelet activating factor (PAF) was examined in rings isolated from rat aorta and mesenteric artery. LPC caused dose-dependent vasodilatation, which was sensitive to CV-6209, a PAF antagonist, and NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, but insensitive to indomethacin. PAF (10(-7)M) caused a tachyphylactic effect ...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide and endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation.
In addition to nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), synthesized enzymatically from l-cysteine or l-homocysteine, is the third gasotransmitter in mammals. Endogenous H2S is involved in the regulation of many physiological processes, including vascular tone. Although initially it was suggested that in the vascular wall H2S is synthesized only by smooth muscle cells and relaxe...
متن کاملAcyl Chain-Dependent Effect of Lysophosphatidylcholine on Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxation
Previously we identified palmitoyl-, oleoyl-, linoleoyl-, and arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC 16:0, 18:1, 18:2 and 20:4) as the most prominent LPC species generated by endothelial lipase (EL). In the present study, we examined the impact of those LPC on acetylcholine (ACh)- induced vascular relaxation. All tested LPC attenuated ACh-induced relaxation, measured ex vivo, using mouse aor...
متن کاملThe Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide/Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor in Atropine-Induced Vasorelaxation
Atropine has been used to block cholinergic neurotransmission in basic research. Large doses of atropine cause vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin. This effect is apparently unconnected with the antimuscarinic activity of atropine and seems to be due to a direct action on the blood vessels. It has been suggested that atropine blocks muscarinic receptors at low doses and it induces th...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent vasorelaxation induced by black currant concentrate in rat thoracic aorta.
We investigated the effect of black currant (BC) concentrate on smooth muscle in rat thoracic aorta. BC concentrate dose-dependently relaxed the norepinephrine (0.1 microM)-precontracted aorta, and the response was abolished after endothelium removal. Both oxyhemoglobin (1 microM), a nitric oxide (NO) scavenger, and IH-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 0.5 microM), an inhibitor of...
