Endothelin-1 stimulates contraction of rat glomerular mesangial cells and potentiates beta-adrenergic-mediated cyclic adenosine monophosphate accumulation.
The newly isolated peptide, endothelin-1 (ET-1), is a potent pressor agent that reduces GFR and the glomerular ultrafiltration coefficient. Recent evidence demonstrates that ET-1 mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) in glomerular mesangial cells by activating the phosphoinositide cascade. The present experiments were designed to examine whether ET-1 stimulates mesangial cell contraction and ...
متن کاملCyclic adenosine monophosphate accumulation and beta-adrenergic binding in unweighted and denervated rat soleus muscle.
Unweighting, but not denervation, of muscle reportedly "spares" insulin receptors, increasing insulin sensitivity. Unweighting also increases beta-adrenergic responses of carbohydrate metabolism. These differential characteristics were studied further by comparing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation and beta-adrenergic binding in normal and 3-day unweighted or denervated soleus m...
متن کاملHydraulic pressure stimulates adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate accumulation in endothelial cells from Schlemm's canal.
PURPOSE Fluid flow across various endothelia results in a variety of intracellular and extracellular adaptations. In the living eye, aqueous humor flows across the surface of endothelial cells on trabecular meshwork (TM) beams and in the juxtacanalicular tissue and through or between a continuous monolayer of endothelial cells that line Schlemm's canal (SC). This study was undertaken to test th...
متن کاملBeta-adrenergic stimulation of pineal N-acetyltransferase: adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate stimulates both RNA and protein synthesis.
The lag period in the induction of rat pineal N-acetyltransferase (arylamine acetyltransferase or acetyl-CoA:arylamine N-acetyltransferase EC 2.3.1.5) by catecholamines via the beta-adrenergic receptor varies with the length of exposure of the rat to light or darkness. If rats have been exposed to light and reduced sympathetic nerve activity for more than 12 hr, this lag period is 1-2 hr long. ...
متن کاملEffects of Adenosine Deaminase on Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate Accumulation, Lipolysis, and Glucose Metabolism of Fat Cells*
In fat cells isolated from the parametrial adipose tissue of rats, the addition of purified adenosine deaminase increased lipolysis and cyclic adenosine 3’: 5’-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) accumulation. Adenosine deaminase markedly potentiated cyclic AMP accumulation due to norepinephrine. The increase in cyclic AMP due to adenosine deaminase was as rapid as that of theophylline with near maximal...
