Evidence for a vascular sensitizing factor in plasma of saline-loaded dogs.

چکیده
This study investigates whether plasma extracts previously demonstrated to have natriuretic and antinatriferic activity have effects on vascular reactivity of rat cremaster arterioles. Plasma from hydropenic and saline-loaded dogs was subjected to Diafiltration, and eluted on a strong cation exchange column (SCX). The effects of intraarterial injections of various column fractions on constrictor responses to repeated injections of 33.3 ng of norepinephrine (NE) were used to indicate changes in vascular responsiveness in third order cremaster arterioles. SCX fraction I (void volume) from saline-loaded dogs (FI-S) caused an increase in constrictor response to NE of 101%. Increased vascular responsiveness peaked at 40 minutes and remained significantly elevated (p less than 0.05) for 130 minutes. Fraction I from plasma of hydropenic dogs (FI-H) and fraction III from plasma of saline-loaded dogs (FIII-S) did not increase vascular responsiveness to NE. FI-S shifted the dose response curves for NE, arginine vasopressin, and angiotensin II parallel and to the left relative to control by a factor of 3.05-, 2.95-, and 5.63-fold, respectively, at the 50% constrictor dose. Systemic injections of FI-S, but not FI-H, caused a 10 mm Hg rise in blood pressure at 50 minutes, and blood pressure was significantly elevated for 30 to 90 minutes after injection (p less than 0.01). These data demonstrate a vascular-sensitizing factor in FI-S. The factor appears in the same chromatographic fraction previously demonstrated to contain natriuretic, antinatriferic, and digoxin-like activity. The correlation of these activities with salt loading suggests they are due to the same substance, which may be the putative natriuretic hormone.

The effect of dialysates and ultrafiltrates of plasma of saline-loaded dogs on toad bladder sodium transport.
In order to obtain direct evidence for the existence of a natriuretic hormone, dialysates and ultrafiltrates of plasma of dogs expanded with saline were tested for effects on sodium transport by the toad urinary bladder. Dialysate was obtained by dialysis of blood in vivo in a clinical dialyzer and by dialysis in vitro of small volumes of blood using a miniature model of the clinical dialyzer. ...

This is a prospective, controlled, randomized clinical study to evidence the role of nitrosative stress in development of overt neurological sign of canine distemper (CD). The enrollment of cases wasa made on basis of overt sign of CD (n=139) and the findings were compared with apparently healthy dogs (n=15). The CD specific immunoglobulins resulted in 94 confirmed positive cases. The nitric ox...

Interest in the role of insulin sensitizing drugs (ISDs) as a means of reducing compensatory hyperinsulinemia in the hope of improving metabolic and reproductive functions in women with PCOS has grown measurably over the past decade. Metformin is believed to lower fasting serum insulin levels in insulin-resistance. For the management of ovulatory infertility in the nonobese PCOS population (BMI...
