Tranilast Increases Vasodilator Response to Acetylcholine in Rat Mesenteric Resistance Arteries through Increased EDHF Participation
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tranilast, in addition to its capacity to inhibit mast cell degranulation, has other biological effects, including inhibition of reactive oxygen species, cytokines, leukotrienes and prostaglandin release. In the current study, we analyzed whether tranilast could alter endothelial function in rat mesenteric resistance arteries (MRA). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Acetylcholine-i...
متن کاملVasodilator responses of coronary resistance arteries of exercise-trained pigs.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that vasodilator responses of porcine coronary resistance arteries are increased by exercise training. METHODS AND RESULTS Yucatan miniature swine were randomly divided into groups of exercise-trained (ET) and sedentary (SED) control pigs. ET pigs were placed on a progressive treadmill training program lasting 16 to 20 weeks, and...
متن کاملResponses of atherosclerotic human coronary arteries in vivo to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator substance P.
BACKGROUND The effects of the endothelium-dependent vasodilator substance P (SP) on atherosclerotic human coronary arteries was studied. METHODS AND RESULTS [125I]-SP binding to luminal cells was shown to be preserved in the atherosclerotic epicardial coronary arteries of four patients. No binding to medial smooth muscle cells was demonstrated. Intracoronary infusions of SP were undertaken in...
متن کاملEndothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) mediates endothelium-dependent vasodilator effects of aqueous extracts from Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. leaves in rat mesenteric resistance arteries.
The vascular effects of an aqueous extract prepared from the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. (ELE), a medicinal herb commonly used in antihypertensive herbal prescriptions in China, were investigated in rat mesenteric resistance arteries. The mesenteric vascular bed was perfused with Krebs solution and the perfusion pressure was measured with a pressure transducer. In preparations with an int...
متن کاملMechanism of the vasodilator effect of Euxanthone in rat small mesenteric arteries.
In the present work we investigated the mechanism involved in the vasodilator effect induced by euxanthone in rat small mesenteric arteries. We observed that euxanthone induced concentration-dependent vasodilatation in arteries by a mechanism independent on the release of endothelial factors, such as nitric oxide (NO) and cyclooxygenase-derived factors. In addition our results also suggest that...
