Acyl 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 کاملMechanism 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 کاملImpairment of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in experimental atherosclerosis is dependent on gender.
OBJECTIVE Nitric oxide (NO) has been suggested to have antiatherosclerotic effects. It has also been demonstrated that there is a greater basal release of endothelium derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in female as compared to male rabbit aorta, which also might have beneficial effects in atherosclerosis. We thus sought to determine if gender influences the severity of atherosclerosis. METHODS We...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent Effect of Sesame Seed Feeding on Vascular Reactivity of Streptozotocin-diabetic Rats: Underlying Mechanisms
Cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of sesame (Sesamum indicum L) seed feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male diabetic rats received sesame seed-mixed food at weight ratios of 3% and 6% for 7 weeks, one week after diabetes in...
