Endogenous endothelin-1 limits exercise-induced vasodilation in hypertensive humans.
Essential hypertension is a common disorder, associated with increased endothelin-1-mediated vasoconstrictor tone at rest. We hypothesized that increased vasoconstrictor activity of endothelin-1 might explain why the normal decrease in peripheral vascular resistance in response to exercise is attenuated in hypertensive patients. Therefore, we investigated the effect of endothelin A (ET(A)) rece...
متن کاملCaptopril improves impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypertensive patients.
Animal studies suggest that some angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors augment endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. We aimed to determine if captopril augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation in middle-aged hypertensive patients. By using strain-gauge plethysmography, forearm vasodilation evoked with intra-arterial acetylcholine (4, 8, 16, and 24 micrograms/min) or nitroprusside (0.2, 0....
متن کاملNitric oxide dependent vasodilation in young spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Conflicting evidence exists on the possible impairment of tonic nitric oxide (NO) mediated vasodilation as a causative factor in the genesis of human as well as experimental hypertension. We evaluated the tonic NO-dependent vasodilation from the pressor response to NO synthesis inhibition by NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) in 9 conscious, chronically instrumented spontaneously hypertensive ra...
متن کاملPersistent hypokalaemia in a Jamaican hypertensive patient.
We report the case of a 48-year old man with uncontrolled hypertension and persistent hypokalaemia from an aldosterone producing adrenal adenoma treated by laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Clinicians' identification of primary hyperaldosteronism is critical as the correct treatment results in improved blood pressure control and reduced risk of complications.
متن کاملCorrelative intravital imaging of cGMP signals and vasodilation in mice
Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is an important signaling molecule and drug target in the cardiovascular system. It is well known that stimulation of the vascular nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP pathway results in vasodilation. However, the spatiotemporal dynamics of cGMP signals themselves and the cGMP concentrations within specific cardiovascular cell types in health, disease, and during pharmac...
