PDE5 inhibitor sildenafil citrate augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation in smokers.
Smoking is associated with endothelial dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sildenafil, an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), on endothelial function in smokers. We evaluated the forearm blood flow (FBF) responses to acetylcholine (ACh), an endothelium-dependent vasodilator, and to sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an endothelium-independent vasodilator, be...
متن کاملL-arginine augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation in cholesterol-fed rabbits.
Evidence exists that an endothelium-derived relaxing factor is nitric oxide and that L-arginine is the precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide in vitro. Whether exogenous L-arginine contributes to the modulation of vascular smooth muscle tone in vivo is still controversial. In hypercholesterolemia, resistance vessels do not relax normally in response to pharmacological stimuli that release ...
متن کاملHyperlipoproteinemia impairs endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
Atherogenic lipoproteins can cause endothelial dysfunction in the initial stage of atherogenesis. In our study we examined 134 patients with defined hyperlipoproteinemia (non-HDL cholesterol>4.1 mmol/l or triglycerides>2.5 mmol/l or taking any of lipid lowering drugs)--94 men and 40 women. The subgroup of controls of comparable age contained 54 normolipidemic individuals--30 men and 24 women. P...
متن کاملShort-term exercise training augments sympathetic vasoconstrictor responsiveness and endothelium-dependent vasodilation in resting skeletal muscle.
We tested the hypotheses that 4 wk of exercise training would diminish the magnitude of vasoconstriction in response to sympathetic nerve stimulation and augment endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDD) in resting skeletal muscle in a training intensity-dependent manner. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to sedentary time-control (S), mild- (M; 20 m/min, 5% grade), or heavy-intensity (...
