Mesenteric Vascular Smooth Muscle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vasodilating agents were tested on smooth-muscle strips of small arterial blood vessels of dog and rabbit skin and mesentery, and two patterns of reaction were demonstrated. The type 1 vasodilating agents, for example nicotinate, caused relaxation of contracted strips or blocked their contraction. The type 2 vasodilating compounds, histamine, choline esters, and bradykinin, either caused contraction or had no effect on the vascular smooth-muscle preparation. Responses that were species specific and region specific characterize the action of type 2 vasodilators and must be accounted for in any in-vitro testing procedure for vasodilator drugs. ADDITIONAL

Contrasting Patterns of Agonist-induced Store-operated Ca2+ Entry and Vasoconstriction in Mesenteric Arteries and Aorta With Aging
Ca is a crucial factor in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction. Store-operated Ca entry (SOCE) is one pathway that mediates Ca influx and smooth muscle contraction. Vessel contraction function usually alters with aging to cause severe vascular-related diseases. However, the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Here, we assessed intracellular Ca and vessel tension and found...
متن کاملSmall Bowel Ischemic Necrosis Secondary to Idiopathic Intimal and Medial Hyperplasia of Mesenteric Vessels: A Case Report
Small bowel ischemic necrosis secondary to idiopathic intimal and medial hyperplasia of mesenteric small vessels is rare. The mesenteric vascular diseases were recently classified as two vascular diseases: fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) of artery and mesenteric arteriovenous dysplasia/vasculopathy (MAVD/V). FMD usually involves medium size mesenteric arteries in younger individuals. In contrast,...
متن کاملEffects of chronic portal hypertension on agonist-induced actin polymerization in small mesenteric arteries.
The ability of arterial smooth muscle to respond to vasoconstrictor stimuli is reduced in chronic portal hypertension (PHT). Additional evidence supports the existence of a postreceptor defect in vascular smooth muscle excitation contraction coupling. However, the nature of this defect is unclear. Recent studies have shown that vasoconstrictor stimuli induce actin polymerization in smooth muscl...

Background and Purpose: Conventionally, the architecture of the artery wall is based upon the close-packed smooth muscle cells, endothelial and adventitial cells in both sides of internal elastic lamina (IEL). However, the adventitia and endothelium are now viewed as key players in vascular growth and repair. Recent work raises fundamental questions about the cellular heterogeneity of arterie...
متن کاملRaf-1 kinase regulates smooth muscle contraction in the rat mesenteric arteries.
We investigated the potential role of Raf-1 kinase in mesenteric arterial contraction. Inhibitors of Raf-1 kinase, GW5074, L779450 and ZM 336372 reversed phenylephrine (PE)-induced mesenteric vascular contraction. Studies in vivo in rats showed that GW5074 inhibited PE-induced increase in mean arterial pressure in adult female Sprague-Dawley rats. Isometric tension studies in mesenteric arterie...
متن کاملControl of the Splanchnic Circulation 1
The major regulatory factors in the mesenteric circulation include general hemodynamic forces, the autonomic nervous system, circulating vasoactive substances, tissue metabolites and intrinsic characteristics of vascular smooth muscle. During mesenteric ischemic states smooth muscle spasm elevates resistance to blood flow and aggravates intestinal tissue hypoxia leading to mucosal necrosis. Clo...
