Release of fatty acids by perfused vascular tissue in normotensive and hypertensive rats.

چکیده
The release of fatty acids from perfused mesenteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and control Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) was studied. The release of the prostaglandin precursors dihomogammalinolenic acid, arachidonic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid was reduced in SHR when compared with age-matched WKY. The release of all other fatty acids detected in the effluent was also reduced. The differences in fatty acid release were evident even when tissue levels of the fatty acids were similar or higher in SHR than in controls. The addition of evening primrose oil and fish oil into the diet partially corrected these defects. Evening primrose oil and fish oil both attenuated increases in blood pressure, but fish oil was more potent than primrose oil. Although both diets reduced vascular reactivity, primrose oil was more effective with lower doses of norepinephrine whereas fish oil blunted the effects of both low and high doses of norepinephrine. The possible mechanisms for the effects of primrose oil and fish oil on vascular reactivity are briefly discussed.

Perivascular adipose tissue and mesenteric vascular function in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
OBJECTIVE Perivascular adipose tissue of normotensive rats releases a transferable factor that induces relaxation by opening voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels. The relevance of these observations to hypertension is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We characterized mesenteric perivascular adipose tissue from 3-month-old Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and aged-matched spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR...
متن کاملEnhanced release of noradrenaline in the kidney of the young spontaneously hypertensive rat.
1. Vascular reactivity and noradrenaline overflow were studied in Tyrode solution-perfused kidneys from young (6 weeks) normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats. 2. The vasoconstrictor response to nerve stimulation was greater in the kidneys from young SH rats than in those from young control rats. 3. Nerve stimulation evoked a greater release of noradrenaline in the kidneys from y...
متن کاملEvaluation of vascular effects of aqueous Crocus sativus petals’ extract in the hypertensive rats
Background and Aim: Crocus sativus (C. sativus) petals attenuates smooth muscle tension and blood pressure in control animals. However the antihypertensive effect and its mechanisms haven’t been recognized. This study investigates the antihypertensive effects of C. sativus petals’ aqueous extract in hypertensive rats and also responses of the rat isolated perfused mesenteric bed. Materials and...
متن کاملOmega-3 Fatty Acids Supplementation Differentially Modulates the SDF-1/CXCR-4 Cell Homing Axis in Hypertensive and Normotensive Rats
BACKGROUND We assessed the effect of acute and chronic dietary supplementation of ω-3 on lipid metabolism and cardiac regeneration, through its influence on the Stromal Derived Factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor (CXCR4) axis in normotensive and hypertensive rats. METHODS Male Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were allocated in eight groups (of eight animals each), wh...

1 Hypertensive and normotensive rats of the same age group were isolated from an inbred colony of spontaneously hypertensive rats. 2 The perfused hindquarter and mesenteric artery preparations obtained from hypertensive and normotensive rats exhibited an increased reactivity to noradrenaline (NA) and angiotensin II. 3 Dose-response curves to NA obtained from hypertensive and normotensive rats e...
