Contraction of vascular smooth muscle in response to plasma. Comparison with response to known vasoactive agents.
Addition of plasma to the physiologic salt solution in which helical strips of vascular smooth muscle were suspended caused the muscle to contract. The plasma was obtained from dog arterial blood which, extracorporeally, had been in contact only with siliconized polyethylene in the cold. The strips were from large and small vessels from several sites in rabbit and dog. The contractions were rep...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle contraction in hypertension
Hypertension is a major risk factor for many common chronic diseases, such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, vascular dementia, and chronic kidney disease. Pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the development of hypertension include increased vascular resistance, determined in large part by reduced vascular diameter due to increased vascular contraction and arterial remo...
متن کاملOxygen and vascular smooth muscle contraction.
DETAR, REED, AND DAVID F. BOHR. Oxygen and vascular smooth muscle contraction. Am. J. Physiol. 214(Z): 241-244. 1968.-Oxygen tension is an important determinant of the contractile tension developed by isolated helical strips of rabbit aorta. A decrease in PO:! below 100 mm Hg causes the contractile response to epinephrine (l-3 pg/liter) to diminish linearly to near zero levels at < 1 mm Hg. If ...
متن کاملCalcium and vascular smooth muscle contraction.
Radioactive calcium flux in rabbit aorta was studied to evaluate factors regulating the movement of calcium into and out of the cell. Calcium content was estimated both from (1) the amount of Ca present in the tissue and the specific activity of Ca in the bathing medium, and (2) determination of chemical calcium by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Calcium efflux was followed by washing aort...
متن کاملEnergetics of crossbridge phosphorylation and contraction in vascular smooth muscle.
Ca(2+)-dependent crossbridge phosphorylation is the primary mechanism governing crossbridge cycling in smooth muscle. A four-state crossbridge model in which phosphorylation is the only proposed regulatory mechanism was successful in predicting the mechanical properties of the swine carotid media including latch (sustained force with reduced crossbridge cycling). This model also predicts that t...
