Nitric oxide mediates hepatic arterial vascular escape from norepinephrine-induced constriction.

چکیده
The involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in the vascular escape from norepinephrine (NE)-induced vasoconstriction was investigated in the hepatic arterial vasculature of anesthetized cats. The hepatic artery was perfused by free blood flow or pump-controlled constant-flow, and NE (0.15 and 0.3 μg ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ min-1, respectively) was infused through the portal vein. In the free-flow perfusion model, the NE-induced hepatic vasoconstriction recovered from the maximum point of the constriction, resulting in 36.6 ± 5.9% vascular escape. Blockade of NO formation with N ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME, 2.5 mg/kg ipv) potentiated NE-induced maximum vasoconstriction, and the potentiation was reversed byl-arginine (75 mg/kg ipv). Furthermore, NE-induced vasoconstriction became more stable after l-NAME, resulting in an inhibition of vascular escape (7.5 ± 3.3%), and the inhibition was reversed by l-arginine (23.0 ± 6.4%). Similar potentiation of NE-induced vasoconstriction and inhibition of hepatic vascular escape by l-NAME (40.4 ± 4.3% control vs. 10.2 ± 3.7% post-l-NAME escape) and the reversal byl-arginine were also observed in the constant-flow perfusion model. The data suggest that NO is the major endogenous mediator involved in the hepatic vascular escape from NE-induced vasoconstriction.

متن کاملShear-induced modulation of vasoconstriction in the hepatic artery and portal vein by nitric oxide.
The effect of shear stress on nitric oxide (NO)-mediated suppression of sympathetic nerve (2-6 Hz)- and norepinephrine (0.5 μg ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ min-1)-induced vasoconstriction in the hepatic artery (HA) and portal vein (PV) was studied using a perfusion circuit to regulate blood pressure and flow in the cat liver in situ. Holding flow constant resulted in increased shear stress during constriction; hol...
متن کاملThe role of inducible nitric oxide synthase in lipopolysaccharide-mediated hyporeactivity to vasoconstrictors differs among isolated rat arteries.
We investigated whether organ-specific differences exist in the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in hyporeactivity to vasoconstrictors following 20 h in vitro exposure of isolated superior mesenteric, renal, hepatic and coronary arteries from the rat to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS attenuated contraction in response to depolarizing KCl in all arteries. Maximum contracti...
متن کاملRoles of endothelin-1 and nitric oxide in the mechanism for ethanol-induced vasoconstriction in rat liver.
This study was designed to investigate the mechanism for ethanol-induced hepatic vasoconstriction in isolated perfused rat liver. Upon initiation of ethanol infusion into the portal vein at concentrations ranging from 25 to 100 mM, portal pressure began to increase in a concentration-dependent manner and reached maximal levels in 2-5 min (initial phase), followed by a gradual decrease over the ...
متن کاملIncreased vasoconstriction to noradrenaline by 1400W, inhibitor of iNOS, in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
There is evidence that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is activated at the acute phase of diabetes. We examined if selective inhibition of iNOS by 1400W (N-3-aminomethyl-benzyl-acetamidine) increases vascular response to noradrenaline in rats with streptozotocin (60 mg/kg i.v.)-induced diabetes for a duration of 3 weeks. The effects of noradrenaline on mean arterial pressure (MAP; 6, 16,...
