Pregnancy Augments G Protein Estrogen Receptor (GPER) Induced Vasodilation in Rat Uterine Arteries via the Nitric Oxide - cGMP Signaling Pathway
BACKGROUND The regulation of vascular tone in the uterine circulation is a key determinant of appropriate uteroplacental blood perfusion and successful pregnancy outcome. Estrogens, which increase in the maternal circulation throughout pregnancy, can exert acute vasodilatory actions. Recently a third estrogen receptor named GPER (G protein-coupled estrogen receptor) was identified and, although...
متن کاملRegulation of nitric oxide-dependent vasodilation in coronary arteries of estrogen receptor-alpha-deficient mice.
Estrogen has been shown to increase endothelium-dependent vasodilation and expression of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS); however, the role of estrogen receptors in mediating estrogen effects on endothelial function remains to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that estrogen modulates NO-dependent vasodilation of coronary arteries through its actio...
متن کاملEstrogen alters relative contributions of nitric oxide and cyclooxygenase products to endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of in vivo estrogen manipulations on mechanisms of endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Ovary-intact, ovariectomized (OVX), or OVX with estrogen replacement (OVX + E(2)) female Sprague-Dawley rats were studied (n = 8). Mesenteric arteries (approximately 300 microm) were isolated, cannulated, and pressurized to 60 mm Hg in an arteriograph con...
متن کاملRole of nitric oxide in adenosine-induced vasodilation in humans.
Vasodilation is one of the most prominent effects of adenosine and one of the first to be recognized, but its mechanism of action is not completely understood. In particular, there is conflicting information about the potential contribution of endothelial factors. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of nitric oxide in the vasodilatory effect of adenosine. Forearm blood flow respon...
متن کاملDecreased microvascular nitric oxide-dependent vasodilation in postural tachycardia syndrome.
BACKGROUND One variant of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), designated low-flow POTS, is associated with decreased peripheral blood flow related to impaired local vascular regulation. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate the hypothesis that microvascular endothelial dysfunction produces decreased peripheral blood flow in low-flow POTS, we performed experiments using laser-Doppler flowmetry ...
