Functional characterization of serotonin receptors in rat isolated aorta.
Interactions of serotonin (5-HT) with different specific 5-HT receptors that can coexist in the same blood vessel sometimes generate opposite effects. The aim of this study was to characterize the functional role of previously described mRNAs for 5-HT receptors in the rat aorta (5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2B), 5-HT(1B), 5-HT(7)) as well as to study the known 5-HT(2A) receptor-mediated constrictor response ...
متن کاملThe Effects of L-Citrulline Pretreatment on the Isometric Tension of the Isolated Perfused Rat Aorta
Background: The achievement of an effective compound for prevention/treatment of hypertension with fewer complications has been of interest in recent years. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effects of L-citrulline pretreatment on the tension of isolated rat aortic tissues precontracted by different vasoconstrictors. METHODS: Sixteen male Wistar rats (300-350g) were randomly divided i...
متن کاملPharmacological Studies of Tentacle Extract from the Jellyfish Cyanea capillata in Isolated Rat Aorta
Our previous studies demonstrated that tentacle extract (TE) from the jellyfish, Cyanea capillata, could cause a dose-dependent increase of systolic blood pressure, which seemed to be the result of direct constriction of vascular smooth muscle (VSM). The aim of this study is to investigate whether TE could induce vasoconstriction in vitro and to explore its potential mechanism. Using isolated a...
متن کاملPharmacological characterization of the P2 receptors profile in the podocytes of the freshly isolated rat glomeruli.
Calcium flux in the podocytes is critical for normal and pathophysiological regulation of these types of cells, and excessive calcium signaling results in podocytes damage and improper glomeruli function. Purinergic activation of P2 receptors is a powerful and rapid signaling process; however, the exact physiological identity of P2 receptors subtypes in podocytes remains essentially unknown. Th...
متن کاملSustained Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction in the Isolated Perfused Rat Lung: Effect of α1-adrenergic Receptor Agonist
Background: Alveolar hypoxia induces monophasic pulmonary vasoconstriction in vivo, biphasic vasoconstriction in the isolated pulmonary artery, and controversial responses in the isolated perfused lung. Pulmonary vascular responses to sustained alveolar hypoxia have not been addressed in the isolated perfused rat lung. In this study, we investigated the effect of sustained hypoxic ventilation o...
