Transient Mesenteric Ischemia Leads to Remodeling of Rat Mesenteric Resistance Arteries
Mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We studied the effect of mesenteric I/R on structural and mechanical properties of rat mesenteric resistance artery (MRA) that, once disrupted, might impact the outcome of this devastating clinical condition. Superior mesenteric artery from Wistar-Kyoto rats was occluded (90 min) and reperfused (24 h...
متن کاملEstrogen replacement reduces age-associated remodeling in rat mesenteric arteries.
Estrogen replacement therapy significantly decreases the incidence of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women. In aging, there is an increase in vascular stiffness along with a decrease in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. Our hypothesis was that estrogen replacement would increase MMPs and therefore reduce the vascular stiffness that is associated with aging. Female Sprague-Dawle...
متن کاملRole of estrogens and age in flow-mediated outward remodeling of rat mesenteric resistance arteries.
In resistance arteries, a chronic increase in blood flow induces hypertrophic outward remodeling. This flow-mediated remodeling (FMR) is absent in male rats aged 10 mo and more. As FMR depends on estrogens in 3-mo-old female rats, we hypothesized that it might be preserved in 12-mo-old female rats. Blood flow was increased in vivo in mesenteric resistance arteries after ligation of the side art...
متن کاملSmooth muscle cell changes during flow-related remodeling of rat mesenteric resistance arteries.
To obtain information on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of flow-induced arterial remodeling, we analyzed the morphology and smooth muscle cell (SMC) characteristics in rat mesenteric resistance arteries after interventions that decreased and increased flow. Juvenile male Wistar Kyoto rats were subjected to surgery that, compared with control arteries, provided arteries with chronic low f...
متن کاملMesenteric ischemia.
Superior mesenteric artery embolism or thrombosis and nonocclusive ischemia are the most frequent causes of mesenteric ischemia. Symptoms out of proportion to the physical findings, leucocytosis, and metabolic acidosis suggest the diagnosis. A high index of suspicion, aggressive resuscitation and correction of metabolic derangements, early angiography, and operative intervention are necessary i...
