Cerebral Resistance Arteries
were independently controlled by two servo-controlled pumps, and changes in the diameter of the segment were registered by an automated video technique. In the absence of flow, these segments maintained their diameter when intraluminal pressure was changed over the range 30-90 mm Hg. When intraluminal pressure was low (30 mm Hg), flow at 20 pl/min caused dilation. This is half the rate of flow ...
متن کاملCaveolin-1 and caveolin-3 regulate Ca2+ homeostasis of single smooth muscle cells from rat cerebral resistance arteries.
The role of caveolins, signature proteins of caveolae, in arterial Ca(2+) regulation is unknown. We investigated modulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis by caveolin-1 and caveolin-3 using smooth muscle cells from rat cerebral resistance arteries. Membrane current and Ca(2+) transients were simultaneously measured with voltage-clamped single cells. Membrane depolarization triggered Ca(2+) current and i...
متن کاملTemperature and protein kinase C modulate myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity in pressurized rat cerebral arteries.
The effects of pharmacological activation and inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) and temperature on the relationship between cytoplasmic Ca2+ and lumen diameter were studied in pressurized (50 mmHg) rat posterior cerebral arteries permeabilized with α-toxin. Increasing Ca2+ concentrations (30 nM-10 μM, 22°C) induced stable, concentration-dependent constrictions with a half-maximal effective c...
متن کاملRole of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger-mediated Ca2+ entry in pressure-induced myogenic constriction in rat posterior cerebral arteries.
The involvement of Ca2+ entry via the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) in myogenic constriction of rat posterior cerebral arteries was investigated. RT-PCR identified mRNA for NCX1, 2, and 3 in the arteries. Na+ removal increased [Ca2+]i, which was reduced by the NCX inhibitor SEA0400. SEA0400 inhibited the development, but not the steady-state, of pressure-induced myogenic constriction, whereas it dec...
متن کاملRaloxifene relaxes rat cerebral arteries in vitro and inhibits L-type voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because of their mixed estrogen-agonist and estrogen-antagonist properties, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are considered promising substitutes for hormone replacement therapy. Raloxifene and other SERMs confer estrogen-like cardiovascular protective effects but lack the carcinogenic activity of exogenous estrogen. However, little is known about the cerebr...
