Architecture of small arteries during vasoconstriction.
• A fundamental characteristic of blood vessels is the ability to change in caliber in response to neural and chemical stimuli. The effects of such changes on the architecture of the vessel wall cannot be appreciated in studies on physical models, such as soap bubbles and balloons, which have negligible wall thickness and uniform composition. The familiar Laplace relationship (T = PR) states th...
متن کاملHistamine-dependent prolongation by aldosterone of vasoconstriction in isolated small mesenteric arteries of the mouse.
In arterioles, aldosterone counteracts the rapid dilatation (recovery) following depolarization-induced contraction. The hypothesis was tested that this effect of aldosterone depends on cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived products and/or nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibition. Recovery of the response to high K(+) was observed in mesenteric arteries of wild-type and COX-2(-/-) mice but it was sig...
متن کاملEffects of IBMX on norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction in small mesenteric arteries.
The present study assesses the effects of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX on norepinephrine (NE)-induced constriction of small mesenteric arteries. Arteries (∼150 μm) were dissected from rats and mounted on a wire myograph for isometric force measurement. NE concentration effect curves were generated after exposure to 500 μM IBMX for 60 min. IBMX significantly reduced NE-induced tension de...
متن کاملRole of cyclic ADP-ribose in Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release and vasoconstriction in small renal arteries.
Cyclic-ADP-ribose (cADPR) has been reported to serve as a second messenger to mobilize intracellular Ca2+ independent of IP3 in a variety of mammalian cells. This cADPR-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway importantly participates in the regulation of various cell functions. The present study determined the role of endogenous cADPR in mediating ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) in...
متن کاملA membrane electrical mechanism for hypoxic vasoconstriction of small pulmonary arteries from cat.
Using specially fabricated muscle myographs, we examined electrical and mechanical responses to reduction of PO2 in small (less than 300 micron) pulmonary arteries excised from cat lungs. Upon lowering PO2 from 400 to 50 mm Hg, these preparations consistently developed contractile responses concomitant with membrane depolarization and action potential generation. The largest changes in electrom...
