Moderate Immunodepression Does Not Alter Some Murine Behaviors
This report investigates if a partial loss of immunity results in alterations of murine behaviors in the open field (ambulation, a correlate of exploration or extroversion, and defecation, a correlate of neuroticism); positive findings would implicate the immune system in the expression of the above behaviors. Twelve female mice and 12 male mice, of the outbred CD1 strain, received a daily inje...
متن کاملDoes inhibition of coronary nitric oxide synthesis alter coronary vascular tone in normal dogs?
To examine whether endothelial nitric oxide formation contributes to the vascular tone of resistance coronary vessels in vivo, we administered NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (10 and 100 micrograms/kg/min), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, as well as D-enantiomer into the left circumflex artery in normal dogs. Intracoronary L-NAME, which was associated with dose-related reductions i...
متن کاملExogenous GH infusion to late-gestational fetal sheep does not alter fetal growth and metabolism.
The role of GH in the regulation of fetal growth and metabolism in late gestation is not well defined. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of exogenous GH infusion on fetal growth and feto-placental metabolism in the normally growing late-gestation fetal sheep. Eleven fetuses received pulsatile GH infusion (3.5 mg/day) for 10 days while 12 control fetuses received vehicle. The GH...
متن کاملEndothelial modulation of pulmonary vascular tone.
Pulmonary endothelial cells normally synthesize prostacyclin (PGI2) and nitric oxide (NO), which are both potent vasodilators. Although PGI2 is largely used to treat patients with severe pulmonary hypertension, its role in the physiology and pathophysiology of the pulmonary circulation is still debated. NO, which is now considered as the endogenous nitrovasodilator, is perhaps more involved tha...
متن کاملPolymerized Bovine Hemoglobin Infusion Does Not Induce Lung Damage in a Rat Model
Establishing a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) has potential to improve transfusion medicine and provide a novel intervention to minimize tissue damage during hypoxic or ischemic insults. However, in vitro studies suggest that HBOCs have toxic effects on endothelial cell barrier function. The purpose of this study was to determine if the HBOC polymerized bovine hemoglobin (PBvHb) alters ...
