Agonist-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation in rat thoracic aorta may be mediated through cGMP.
The present study investigates the hypothesis that endothelium-dependent relaxation of vascular smooth muscle may be mediated through the formation of cGMP. Relaxation of the rat thoracic aorta to acetylcholine, histamine, and Ca++ ionophore A23187 was associated with increased levels of cGMP in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, whereas cAMP levels were unaltered. Removal of the endot...
متن کاملNigella sativa seed decreases endothelial dysfunction in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat aorta
Objective: Diabetes is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events. The great percent of morbidity in patients with diabetes is due to endothelial dysfunction. The present study investigated the effects of hydroalcholic extract of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) on contractile and dilatation response of isolated aorta in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Materials and Methods: Rats ...
متن کاملMechanisms of adenosine triphosphate-, thrombin-, and trypsin-induced relaxation of rat thoracic aorta.
The mechanisms by which adenosine triphosphate, thrombin, and trypsin cause relaxation of vascular smooth muscle were investigated. Relaxation of the rat thoracic aorta with adenosine triphosphate, thrombin, and/or trypsin was associated with increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate in both time- and concentration-dependent manners. Thrombin and trypsin did not alter cyclic adenosine ...
متن کامل17beta-estradiol increases nitric oxide-dependent dilation in rat pulmonary arteries and thoracic aorta.
Past studies have demonstrated that 17beta-estradiol (E(2)beta) increases endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) activity in uterine, heart, and skeletal muscle and in cultured human endothelial cells. However, little is known about E(2)beta regulation of NO synthesis in the pulmonary vasculature. The present study evaluated E(2)beta regulation of eNOS function in pulmonary arteries and ...
