Glycyrrhetinic derivatives inhibit hyperpolarization in endothelial cells of guinea pig and rat arteries.
Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) derivatives have been used to implicate gap junctions in vasorelaxation attributed to endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). The aim of this study was to assess whether GA compounds affect endothelial cell hyperpolarization. Membrane potentials were recorded from dye-identified endothelial and smooth muscle cells of guinea pig coronary and rat mesenteric art...
متن کاملEffect of asbestos on the metabolism of vasoactive substances in isolated perfused guinea pig lungs.
The measurement of pulmonary metabolism of three vasoactive substances and quantitative assessment of changes in lung morphology were performed in a long-term study of asbestos-exposed guinea pigs. Animals received intratracheal injections of a single dose of a sterile suspension of Canadian chrysotile B (5 mg), while control animals received only saline. Six months after the treatment, the gui...
متن کاملCalcium waves in intact guinea pig gallbladder smooth muscle cells.
Intracellular Ca(2+) waves and spontaneous transient depolarizations were investigated in gallbladder smooth muscle (GBSM) whole mount preparations with intact mucosal layer [full thickness (FT)] by laser confocal imaging of intracellular Ca(2+) and voltage recordings with microelectrodes, respectively. Spontaneous Ca(2+) waves arose most often near the center, but sometimes from the extremitie...
متن کاملCharacterization of acetylcholine-induced membrane hyperpolarization in endothelial cells.
The characteristics of the hyperpolarization response to acetylcholine (ACh) in endothelial cells from the guinea pig coronary artery were studied by microelectrode recording technique. ACh (30 nM to 3 microM) induced membrane hyperpolarization in a dose-dependent manner. The sustenance of the response required the presence of external calcium. The hyperpolarization was not affected by nifedipi...
متن کاملAdenosine-induced hyperpolarization in guinea pig coronary artery involves A2b receptors and KATP channels.
The role of P1 purinoceptor subtypes, the adenylyl cyclase (AC) pathway, and ATP-sensitive K+(KATP) channels in adenosine (Ado)-induced membrane hyperpolarization was investigated in isolated segments of the guinea pig coronary artery using conventional microelectrode techniques. Ado (1-100 μM) elicited concentration-dependent hyperpolarization (half-maximal effective concentration 7.5 ± 0.5 μM...
