Angiotensin AT1 receptor blockade abolishes the reflex sympatho-excitatory response to adenosine.
We tested the hypothesis that endogenous angiotensin II participates in the direct and reflex effects of adenosine on the sympathetic nervous system. Nine healthy men were studied after 1 wk of the angiotensin II type I receptor antagonist losartan (100 mg daily) or placebo, according to a double-blind randomized crossover design. Bilateral forearm blood flows, NE appearance rates, and total bo...
متن کاملThe effect of nicardipine on neuronal function following ischemia.
In cerebral ischemia, it has been proposed that calcium influx into neurons results in irreversible cellular injury during reperfusion. We administered nicardipine, a dihydropyridine calcium entry blocker, by continuous subcutaneous infusion to twenty five rats beginning before (PR) or following (PO) ischemia, and compared somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to twenty eight ischemic control ...
متن کاملNicardipine enhances diaphragmatic fatigue.
The effects of nicardipine, a calcium channel blocker, on diaphragmatic fatigue were studied in 20 anaesthetized, mechanically ventilated dogs divided into two groups: control group (Group C, n = 10) and nicardipine group (Group N, n = 10). Diaphragmatic fatigue was induced by intermittent supramaximal electric stimulation to bilateral phrenic nerves at a frequency of 20 Hz for 30 min. In Group...
متن کاملChronic intermittent hypoxia augments sympatho-excitatory response to ATP but not to l-glutamate in the RVLM of rats
The development of sympathetic overactivity and hypertension in rats submitted to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) involve alterations in the central mechanisms controlling respiratory and autonomic functions. Herein, we assessed whether CIH alters glutamatergic and/or purinergic signaling in the ventrolateral medulla (VLM), a region that encompasses the pre-sympathetic neurons and respirator...
متن کاملVasoactive intestinal peptide has a direct positive inotropic effect on isolated human myocardial trabeculae.
The aim of the present study was to assess the inotropic effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on isolated myocardial trabeculae from the right atrium and the left ventricle of human hearts. Furthermore, using reverse transcriptase-PCR, we wanted to determine the presence of mRNAs encoding the three cloned human VIP receptors, VPAC(1), VPAC(2) and PAC(1). The trabeculae were paced at 1...
