P2 purinoceptor-mediated cardioprotection in ischemic-reperfused mouse heart.
P2 purinoceptor modulation of injury during ischemia-reperfusion was studied in murine hearts. Effects of P2 agonism or antagonism, and interstitial accumulation of P2 agonists (UTP, ATP, and ADP), were assessed in Langendorff perfused hearts during 20 min of ischemia and 45 min of reperfusion. In control hearts, ventricular pressure development recovered to 68 +/- 4 mm Hg (63 +/- 3% baseline),...
متن کاملIndividual sympathetic varicosities possess different sensitivities to alpha 2 and P2 receptor agonists and antagonists in mouse vas deferens.
1. The diversity of alpha(2) and purinergic autoreceptor actions on action potential evoked calcium transients in single varicosities has been investigated using the calcium indicator Oregon Green 488 BAPTA-1. 2. During long trains of impulses (10 Hz for 30 s), the change in calcium concentration in varicosities from its resting level (Delta[Ca(2+)](v)) increased in many varicosities during the...
متن کاملEffects of bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide on ATP receptor-mediated responses of the rat vas deferens: possible relationship to cytotoxicity.
Extracellular ATP is a broad-spectrum cytotoxic agent that produces effects via cell surface P2 purinoceptors. The ligand-gated P2X purinoceptor subtype has very high sequence homology with the RP-2 gene, which encodes for apoptosis. The P2X RNA found in rat vas deferens is expressed preferentially by apoptotic thymocytes. P2X purinoceptor-mediated phasic (twitch) motor responses of the isolate...
متن کامل[Congenital unilateral absence of the vas deferens].
A 10-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis (CF) (DeltaF508/G551D mutation) underwent an uneventful elective interval laparoscopic appendectomy. During routine laparoscopic inspection of the abdomen and groins, congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens was noted. Pictures of the patient's internal inguinal ring noted at time of laparoscopy are presented and compared with a similar-aged patien...
متن کاملTrue duplication of the vas deferens.
We report true duplication of the vas deferens found at routine inguinal hernia repair. This rarity is described in the context of the embryologic model for other vas abnormalities.
