Effect of Subchronic Administration of Aqueous Artemisia annua Extract on a1-Adrenoceptor Agonist-Induced Contraction of Isolated Aorta in Rat
Artemisia species, growing in almost all the northern hemisphere, is used in folk medicine of some countries as a remedy for hypertension. Since some cardiovascular disorders including hypertension are accompanied with altered responsiveness of vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors, the effect of aqueous Artemisia annua extract (100 and 200 mg kg-1) on a1-adrenoceptor agonist-induced contraction ...
متن کاملEffect of Subchronic Administration of Captopril on a1-Adrenoceptor Agonist-Induced Contraction of Isolated Aorta in Rat
Angiotensin II is a major endocrine hormone that affects directly both vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Since vascular reactivity to angiotensin II changes in more physiological and pathophysiological conditions, the present study was performed to investigate the effect of intraperitoneal administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and captopril (30 and 50 mg kg-1, on...
متن کاملClonidine Inhibits Phenylephrine-Induced Contraction of Rat Thoracic Aortae by Competitive Antagonism of α1-Adrenoceptors Independent of α2-Adrenoceptor Stimulation
Clonidine is a classically categorized α2-adrenoceptor (α2-AR) agonist that produces vascular contractions by stimulating arterial smooth muscle α2-ARs. However, clonidine inhibits α1-AR-mediated arterial contractions. Recently, it was suggested that repeated stimulation with clonidine induces desensitization of α2-ARs, thus inhibiting noradrenaline-induced smooth muscle contractions. In the pr...
متن کاملAlpha-adrenoceptor antagonism by Crassostrea gigas oyster extract inhibits noradrenaline-induced vascular contraction in Wistar rats.
OBJECTIVE Crassostrea gigas oyster extract has been reported to have antioxidant, antihypertensive and lipid-lowering properties that may be useful for treating cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of C. gigas oyster extract on cardiovascular function in tissues from healthy rats. METHODS Single-cell microelectrode and isolated thoracic aortic organ bath studies we...
متن کاملBuserelin Inhibits Apoptosis in Male Germ Cells Induced by Busulfan in Mouse Testis
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of buserelin on apoptosis of male germ cells induced by busulfan in adult male mice. Materials and Methods: Male adult NMRI mice were divided into four group of eight each. Group 1 (control) administered PBS for 21 days subcutaneously, group 2 given 0.4 mg buserelin for 21 days subcutaneously, group 3 given single dose of 30 mg/kg bus...
