Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade partially attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in newborn piglets: relationship with the nitrergic system
The objective of this study was to observe possible interactions between the renin-angiotensin and nitrergic systems in chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in newborn piglets. Thirteen chronically instrumented newborn piglets (6.3 ± 0.9 days; 2369 ± 491 g) were randomly assigned to receive saline (placebo, P) or the AT(1) receptor (AT(1)-R) blocker L-158,809 (L) during 6 days of hypo...
متن کاملEffect of thoracic epidural blockade on hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in rats
Objective(s): The present study was aimed to investigate the influence of thoracic epidural blockade on hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats. Materials and Methods: Forty eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups, named normoxia hypoxia hypoxia/ ropivacaine and hypoxia/saline. Animals were placed in a hypoxia chamber and instrumented with epidural catheters at the t...
متن کاملRegulation of angiotensin II type 1 receptor mRNA and protein in angiotensin II-induced hypertension.
Chronic elevations of circulating angiotensin II (Ang II) cause sustained hypertension and enhanced accumulation of intrarenal Ang II by an AT1 receptor-dependent process. The present study tested the hypothesis that chronic elevations in circulating Ang II regulate AT1 mRNA and protein expression in a tissue-specific manner. Sprague-Dawley rats were infused with Ang II (80 ng/min) or vehicle s...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade attenuates in-stent restenosis by inhibiting inflammation and progenitor cells.
The precise mechanism by which angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker reduces in-stent restenosis in clinical trials is unclear. We, therefore, investigated the mechanism of in-stent neointima formation. Male cynomolgus monkeys and rabbits were fed a high-cholesterol diet and were allocated to untreated control and type 1 receptor blocker groups. Five days after grouping, multilink stents were ...
متن کاملEffects of magnesium sulphate and nitric oxide in pulmonary hypertension induced by hypoxia in newborn piglets.
AIM To examine the haemodynamic effects of intravenous magnesium sulphate on an animal model of neonatal pulmonary hypertension induced by hypoxia. METHODS The cardiac index (Q), pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), systemic arterial pressure (SAP), and pulmonary (PVRI) and systemic (SVRI) vascular resistance indices were measured in nine newborn piglets (including three controls). Pulmonary hy...
