AT1 receptor blockade improves vasorelaxation in experimental renal failure.
It is not known whether angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists can influence the function and morphology of small arteries in renal failure. We investigated the effect of 8-week losartan therapy (20 mg/kg per day) on isolated mesenteric resistance arteries by wire and pressure myographs in 5/6 nephrectomized rats. Plasma urea nitrogen was elevated 1.6-fold after nephrectomy, and ventricular...
متن کاملIncreased calcium intake reduces plasma cholesterol and improves vasorelaxation in experimental renal failure.
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and high prevalence of vascular complications. Calcium salts are commonly used in CRF as phosphate binders. Increased calcium intake may also lower plasma cholesterol and beneficially influence vascular tone. Therefore, we investigated the influence of increasing dietary calcium from 0.3% to 3.0% for 8 wk after 5/6 nephrec...
متن کاملPotassium channel-mediated vasorelaxation is impaired in experimental renal failure.
Chronic renal failure is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and abnormal arterial tone, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the responses of isolated mesenteric arterial rings from Wistar-Kyoto rats in standard organ chambers 6 wk after subtotal (5/6) nephrectomy or sham operation. Subtotal nephrectomy resulted in a 1.7-f...
متن کاملEffect of Endothelin-A Receptor Blockade on the Early Phase of Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Acute Renal Failure in Anesthetized Rats
Background: Previous studies have shown increases in endothelin (ET) concentration of plasma and renal tissues in acute renal failure (ARF). ET has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, through binding with its ETA receptors, and may play some roles in renal hemodynamic dysfunction in ARF.Objective: To examine the beneficial effect of a selective ETA-receptor antagonist on renal dysfunction and tis...
متن کاملRole of Bradykinin and Mas Receptor Blockade in Renal Vascular Responses to Angiotensin 1-7 in Adult Female Rats
Background and purpose: Chronic kidney disease is among the common diseases in the world. Studies show that women are more protected against renal diseases compared to men. On the other hand, vasodilatory axises of renin angiotensin system (angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7)- Mas receptor (MasR)), kallikrein-kinin, and nitric oxide (NO) play key roles in kidney function and circulation in females. There...
