Flow-dependent dilation in a resistance artery still occurs after endothelium removal.

چکیده
Infusion of physiological saline solution into the lumen of a tonically contracted resistance artery in vitro caused active relaxation. After endothelium removal by rubbing, confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and loss of the relaxation response to acetylcholine (1 microM), flow relaxation was reduced from a mean of 70% to 37%. The latter change was significant (p less than 0.01). It is concluded that flow-relaxation in the resistance artery of the rabbit originates from both the tunica intima and the media.

Blood flow- and endothelium-mediated vasomotion of iliac arteries in conscious dogs.
The effects of removal of endothelium and changes in blood flow in conscious dogs on the responses of large iliac artery diameter to local infusion of nitroglycerin, acetylcholine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine into the iliac artery were studied. Infusion of agonists did not change mean arterial pressure or heart rate. In vessels with intact endothelium, iliac diameter increased with nitrogly...
متن کاملCrucial role of endothelium in the vasodilator response to increased flow in vivo.
Experiments were designed to investigate the importance of vascular endothelium in the vasomotor response to increases in flow as observed in conduit arteries (flow-dependent dilation). The diameter changes of femoral arteries (sonomicrometry) in response to increases in flow before and after endothelial damage procedures were studied in 23 dogs anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. The funct...
متن کاملPhysical training improves flow-mediated dilation in patients with the polymetabolic syndrome.
Endothelial dysfunction that can be detected as impaired flow-mediated dilation by ultrasonography is an early event in atherogenesis and has been demonstrated in healthy subjects with risk factors for atherosclerosis many years before the appearance of atheromatous plaques. We examined the influence of physical training on flow-mediated dilation in patients with the polymetabolic syndrome. Twe...

متن کاملType 2 diabetes severely impairs structural and functional adaptation of rat resistance arteries to chronic changes in blood flow.
AIMS Endothelial dysfunction in resistance arteries (RAs) leads to end-organ damage in type 2 diabetes. Remodelling of RAs in response to chronic increases in blood flow depends on the integrity of the endothelium. Since type 2 diabetes impairs endothelial sensitivity to flow and increases oxidative stress, we hypothesized that flow-induced remodelling in RAs would be impaired in diabetes. Thus...
