Serotonin-induced contraction in mesenteric resistance arteries: signaling and changes in deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertension.
Large arteries from hypertensive subjects are hyperresponsiveness to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). We tested the hypothesis that small arteries (225 micro ID) have a profile similar to conduit arteries, including signal transduction mechanisms and the 5-HT receptor subtype(s) mediating arterial contraction in normal and high blood pressure. Aorta and mesenteric arteries from Sprague-Dawley (232+/...
متن کاملPerivascular Adipose Tissue's Impact on Norepinephrine-Induced Contraction of Mesenteric Resistance Arteries
Background: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) can decrease vascular contraction to NE. We tested the hypothesis that metabolism and/or uptake of vasoactive amines by mesenteric PVAT (MPVAT) could affect NE-induced contraction of the mesenteric resistance arteries. Methods: Mesenteric resistance vessels (MRV) and MPVAT from male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. RT-PCR and Western blots were perfo...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase involvement in thromboxane-dependent contraction in rat mesenteric resistance arteries.
The influence of cyclooxygenase pathway activation following thromboxane-endoperoxide (TP) receptor stimulation was studied in rat mesenteric resistance arteries (n=6 to 10 per group). We studied isolated, perfused, and pressurized mesenteric resistance arteries (mean internal diameter 214 microm) using an arteriograph, enabling us to study arteries in physiological conditions of flow and press...
متن کاملFacilitation of serotonin-induced contraction of rat mesenteric artery by ketamine
Ketamine is an anesthetic with hypertensive effects, which make it useful for patients at risk of shock. However, previous ex vivo studies reported vasodilatory actions of ketamine in isolated arteries. In this study, we reexamined the effects of ketamine on arterial tones in the presence and absence of physiological concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) by measur...
متن کاملHypoxia-induced contraction of chicken embryo mesenteric arteries: mechanisms and developmental changes.
The fetal cardiovascular responses to acute hypoxia include a redistribution of the cardiac output toward the heart and the brain at the expense of other organs, such as the intestine. We hypothesized that hypoxia exerts a direct effect on the mesenteric artery (MA) that may contribute to this response. Using wire myography, we investigated the response to hypoxia (Po2 ~2.5 kPa for 20 min) of i...
