Postnatal maturation attenuates pressure-evoked myogenic tone and stretch-induced increases in Ca2+ in rat cerebral arteries.
Although postnatal maturation potently modulates agonist-induced cerebrovascular contractility, its effects on the mechanisms mediating cerebrovascular myogenic tone remain poorly understood. Because the regulation of calcium influx and myofilament calcium sensitivity change markedly during early postnatal life, the present study tested the general hypothesis that early postnatal maturation inc...
متن کاملMyogenic contractility is more dependent on myofilament calcium sensitization in term fetal than adult ovine cerebral arteries.
Regulation of cytosolic calcium and myofilament calcium sensitivity varies considerably with postnatal age in cerebral arteries. Because these mechanisms also govern myogenic tone, the present study used graded stretch to examine the hypothesis that myogenic tone is less dependent on calcium influx and more dependent on myofilament calcium sensitization in term fetal compared with adult cerebra...
متن کاملMaturation depresses mouse cerebrovascular tone through endothelium-dependent mechanisms.
In light of previous observations that the range of arterial pressures over which cerebral blood flow is autoregulated differs dramatically in neonates and adults, the present experiments explored the hypothesis that pressure-induced intrinsic arterial tone is regulated differently in neonatal and adult cerebral arteries. In cannulated and pressurized endothelium-intact mouse cerebral arteries ...
متن کاملMyogenic Tone in Isolated Perfused Vessels
In situ studies yield only indirect evidence as to whether non-neurogenic vascular tone results from an intrinsic myogenic tendency of the smooth muscle cell to contract or is due to stimulation of the muscle by some vasoactive humoral influence of the environment. In the current study, small resistance vessels from different vascular beds, from various levels of the arterial tree, and from sev...
متن کاملEndothelial influences on cerebrovascular tone.
The cerebrovascular endothelium exerts a profound influence on cerebral vessels and cerebral blood flow. This review summarizes current knowledge of various dilator and constrictor mechanisms intrinsic to the cerebrovascular endothelium. The endothelium contributes to the resting tone of cerebral arteries and arterioles by tonically releasing nitric oxide (NO*). Dilations can occur by stimulate...
