Atrial natriuretic factor-induced systemic vasoconstriction in conscious dogs, rats, and monkeys.
This study addresses the hypothesis that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a primary vasodilator, which reduces arterial pressure directly and increases total peripheral resistance secondarily by reflex mechanisms. The effects of 30-minute infusions of ANF (0.3 micrograms/kg/min i.v.) were examined in conscious dogs, rats, and monkeys before and after ganglionic blockade with hexamethonium. In...
متن کاملRosiglitazone attenuates endothelin-1-induced vasoconstriction by upregulating endothelial expression of endothelin B receptor.
Thiazolidinediones improve insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. However, the mechanisms underlying the vasoprotective effects of thiazolidinediones remain to be fully elucidated. The present study aimed to examine the molecular mechanism for the anti-vasoconstrictive effects of rosiglitazone in response to endothelin (ET) 1. Mouse aortas were treated with rosiglitazone for 24 hours, ...
متن کاملEndothelin-mediated vasoconstriction in postischemic newborn intestine.
We previously suggested that the profound, sustained vasoconstriction noted in 3-day-old swine intestine after a moderate episode of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) reflects the unmasking of underlying constrictor tone consequent to a loss of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO). In this study, we sought to determine whether endothelin-1 (ET-1) was the unmasked constrictor and whether selective los...

متن کاملCysteinyl leukotrienes mediate enhanced vasoconstriction to angiotensin II but not endothelin-1 in SHR.
We assessed whether cysteinyl leukotrienes mediate the vasoconstrictor responses to angiotensin II and endothelin-1 in the mesenteric vascular bed of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) perfused ex vivo at a constant flow rate of 5 ml/min with Krebs buffer. Maximal perfusion pressure response (E(max)) but not EC(50) values to angiotensin II (P < 0.001) and endothelin-1 ...
