Systemic hemodynamics and regional blood flow during chronic nitric oxide synthesis inhibition in pregnant rats.

Pregnancy-induced hypertension in women is associated with severe vasoconstriction and reductions in organ blood flow and cardiac output. Recent studies have indicated that nitric oxide (NO) synthesis inhibition during mid to late gestation in pregnant rats results in severe hypertension and proteinuria. The purpose of this study was to determine the systemic hemodynamic and regional blood flow...

Inhibition of Nitric Oxide Synthesis Potentiates Hypertension During Chronic Glucose

Endothelial dysfunction has been proposed to contribute to impaired blood flow control or hypertension in many conditions characterized by hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia. However, most studies have focused on whether endothelial dysfunction is present in the established phases of these various hypertensive states, and there is little known concerning the role of the endothelium in the initia...

Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis potentiates hypertension during chronic glucose infusion in rats.

Endothelial dysfunction has been proposed to contribute to impaired blood flow control or hypertension in many conditions characterized by hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia. However, most studies have focused on whether endothelial dysfunction is present in the established phases of these various hypertensive states, and there is little known concerning the role of the endothelium in the initia...

Vascular responsiveness to nitric oxide synthesis inhibition in hypertensive rats.

We contrasted in normotensive and hypertensive rats the effect of inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis on isometric tension development by aortic rings bathed in Krebs' bicarbonate buffer. NG-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (3 x 10(-4) mol/L) increased tension (82 +/- 11% of the response to 120 mmol/L potassium chloride) in rings of thoracic aorta taken from hypertensive rats 7 to 14 day...

Chronic blockade of nitric oxide synthesis in the rat produces systemic hypertension and glomerular damage.

Tonic basal release of nitric oxide (NO) by vascular endothelial cells controls blood pressure (BP) in the basal state. In these studies we investigated the effects of chronic inhibition of basal NO synthesis in the rat for a 2-mo period. Significant systemic hypertension developed in chronically NO-blocked rats compared to controls. Marked renal vasoconstriction was also observed with elevatio...
