Endothelium-dependent relaxation in response to acetylcholine in pregnant guinea-pig uterine artery.
Recently, strong evidence has suggested that nitric oxide (NO) synthesis is significantly increased in the uterine artery during pregnancy, which may mediate the increased blood flow to the uterus that is characteristic of pregnancy. We therefore investigated the nature of the mediators of acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation in pregnant guinea-pig uterine arterial rings. ACh (0.1 nM to 60 mi...
متن کاملCharacterization of endothelium-dependent relaxation independent of NO and prostaglandins in guinea pig coronary artery.
In the presence of N omega-nitro-L-arginine and indomethacin, acetylcholine (ACh) induced endothelium-dependent relaxation in guinea pig coronary artery preconstricted with 9,11-dideoxy-9 alpha, 11 alpha-epoxymethano prostaglandin F2 alpha. Dexamethasone and arachidonyltrifluoromethyl ketone, inhibitors of phospholipase A2, and 17-octadecynoic acid, an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase, ...
متن کاملChronic hypoxia, pregnancy, and endothelium-mediated relaxation in guinea pig uterine and thoracic arteries.
Vasodilation that occurs during normal pregnancy is associated with enhanced relaxation and decreased contractile response to agonists, which are in part due to increased stimulated and basal nitric oxide (NO). In preeclampsia and/or pregnancies carried at high altitude (HA), this normal vascular adjustment is reversed or diminished. We previously reported that HA exposure did not inhibit the p...
متن کاملInsulin resistance affects endothelium-dependent acetylcholine-induced coronary artery response.
AIMS This study was designed to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and the acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent coronary artery response in patients without angiographically significant atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and to elucidate the pathophysiological significance of insulin resistance in the early stages of coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESUL...
متن کاملDecreased endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation during reduction of uterine perfusion pressure in pregnant rat.
Reduction in uterine perfusion and the ensuing placental ischemia during late pregnancy have been proposed to trigger increases in systemic vascular resistance and pregnancy-induced hypertension; however, the intermediary mechanisms involved are unclear. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that reduced uterine perfusion pressure during late pregnancy is associated with i...
