Flow-dependent dilation mediated by endogenous kinins requires angiotensin AT2 receptors.
The vascular kallikrein-kinin system contributes to about one third of flow-dependent dilation in mice carotid arteries, by activating bradykinin B2 receptors coupled to endothelial nitric oxide (NO) release. Because the bradykinin/NO pathway may mediate some of the effects of angiotensin II AT2 receptors, we examined the possible contribution of AT2 receptors to the kinin-dependent response to...
متن کاملActivation of AT(2) receptors by endogenous angiotensin II is involved in flow-induced dilation in rat resistance arteries.
Pressure-induced tone (myogenic, MT) and flow (shear stress)-induced dilation (FD) are potent modulators of resistance artery tone. We tested the hypothesis that locally produced angiotensin II interacts with MT and FD. Rat mesenteric resistance arteries were perfused in situ. Arterial diameter was measured by intravital microscopy after a bifurcation on 2 distal arterial branches equivalent in...
متن کاملTutorial Ultrasound Assessment of Flow-Mediated Dilation
Developed in 1992, the flow-mediated dilation test is now the most commonly used noninvasive assessment of vascular endothelial function in humans. Since its inception, scientists have refined their understanding of the physiology, analysis, and interpretation of this measurement. Recently, a significant growth of knowledge has added to our understanding and implementation of this clinically re...
متن کاملAerobic Capacity and Postprandial Flow Mediated Dilation
The consumption of a high-fat meal induces transient vascular dysfunction. Aerobic exercise enhances vascular function in healthy individuals. Our purpose was to determine if different levels of aerobic capacity impact vascular function, as measured by flow mediated dilation, following a high-fat meal. Flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery was determined before, two- and four-hours post...
متن کاملShear stress and flow-mediated dilation.
In this edition of Hypertension, the Framingham Heart Study group reports on the relationship between diastolic shear stress and brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) in 2045 participants of the Framingham Offspring group.1 Clinical correlates and heritability of FMD in the participants have been published previously.2 The new report1 challenges conventional concepts on endothelial funct...
