Noradrenergic transmission in the isolated portal vein of the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
The effect of electrical field stimulation (1, 2, 5, 10 Hz for a total of 480 pulses at 15-minute intervals) on the release of 3H-norepinephrine from the superfused portal vein of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) or Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) of various ages was studied. The ages of the animals were (in weeks) 5-6 (prehypertensive), 8-10 (young hypertensives), 16-18 (older hypertensives), and...
متن کاملHigh concentrations of KCl release noradrenaline from noradrenergic neurons in the rat anococcygeus muscle.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of high concentrations of KCl in releasing noradrenaline from sympathetic nerves and its actions on postsynaptic alpha-adrenoceptors. We measured the isotonic contractions induced by KCl in the isolated rat anococcygeus muscle under different experimental conditions. The contractile responses induced by KCl were inhibited by alpha-adre...
متن کاملSpontaneously Hypertensive Rat Arteries
The possible role of endothelium in the vascular responses to vasodilator drugs was studied in relation to experimental hypertension. Short ring segments of the thoracic aorta and femoral artery were removed from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive WistarKyoto (WKY) rats. They were rubbed on the intimal surface to destruct endothelial cells or unrubbed, and bathed in Krebs-bi...
متن کاملHormones in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat
In young (4-week-old) male and female spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats, ethanol metabolic rate in vivo and hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase activity in vitro are high and not different in the two sexes. In males, ethanol metabolic rate falls markedly between 4 and 10 weeks of age, which coincides with the time of development of sexual maturity in the rat. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity is also...
متن کاملVascular Reactivity in the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat
The role of extracellular calcium and high blood pressure stress in altered vascular adrenergic responsiveness in rings of femoral artery from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was investigated. A model in which partial ligation of the external iliac artery prevents the increase in blood pressure to the ipsilateral femoral artery was used to assess the effect of the increase in pressure str...
