Impaired endothelium-mediated relaxation in isolated cerebral arteries from insulin-resistant rats.
Insulin resistance (IR) impairs vascular responses in peripheral arteries. However, the effects of IR on cerebrovascular control mechanisms are completely unexplored. We examined the vascular function of isolated middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) from fructose-fed IR and control rats. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation elicited by bradykinin (BK) was reduced in IR compared with control MCAs. Maxi...
متن کاملImpaired myogenic tone in mesenteric arteries from overweight rats
BACKGROUND Rats fed high fat (HFD) or high sucrose (HSD) diets develop increased adiposity as well as impaired vasodilatory responsiveness stemming from oxidative stress. Moreover, HFD rats become hypertensive compared to either control (Chow) or HSD fed rats, suggesting elevated vascular tone. We hypothesized that rats with increased adiposity and oxidative stress demonstrate augmented pressur...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent relaxation of hypertensive resistance arteries is not impaired under all conditions.
Endothelium-dependent relaxation of mesenteric resistance arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats was studied. Acetylcholine-induced relaxation of SHR vessels precontracted with 10 microM norepinephrine was endothelium dependent and attenuated compared with WKY vessels. The impaired response of SHR vessels was normalized by inhibition of cyclo...
متن کاملImpaired mitochondria-dependent vasodilation in cerebral arteries of Zucker obese rats with insulin resistance.
Mitochondria affect cerebrovascular tone by activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ (K ATP) channels and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Insulin resistance accompanying obesity causes mitochondrial dysfunction, but the consequences on the cerebral circulation have not been fully identified. We evaluated the mitochondrial effects of diazoxide, a putative mitochondrial K ATP cha...
متن کاملImpaired endothelial function of forearm resistance arteries in CADASIL patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary arteriopathy, which mainly involves the brain causing stroke and dementia. Mice expressing the mutated protein display early dysfunction in vasoreactivity in resistance arteries, but studies of patients have been inconclusive so far. METHODS We examined p...
