age-related influence of Hypothyroidism on Caveolins and nitric Oxide Modulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
results Right atrial NOS activity decreased with aging and hypothyroidism. Cav-1 expression increased with aging and hypothyroidism. Conversely, left ventricular NOS activity increased with aging and hypothyroidism while the expression of both caveolin isoforms decreased in adult and hypothyroid groups. In the renal medulla, hypothyroidism reduced NOS activity in young and raised it in adult animals and cav-1 expression decreased with aging and in hypothyroid young animals. Cav-3 protein levels decreased in adult hypothyroid animals.

Age-Related Changes of Cardiac Caveolins and Nitric Oxide Synthase Modulation During Hypovolemic State
Results After bleeding, NOS activity increased by 21% and 45% in young rats and by 32% and 56% in adult rats. Western blot analysis revealed that NOS levels were lower (31%) in adult rats. Sixty minutes after bleeding, eNOS activity increased by 147% in young animals and by 66% in adults, with lower increase at 120 minutes. Colocalization showed a diffuse pattern of eNOS location associated wit...
متن کاملCaveolins: structure and function in signal transduction.
The caveolin family proteins are typically associated with microdomains that are found in the plasma membrane of numerous cells. These microdomains are referred to as/called caveolae. Caveolins are small proteins (18-24 kDa) that have a hairpin loop conformation with both the N and C termini exposed to the cytoplasm. Apart from having a structural function within caveolae, these proteins have t...
متن کاملModulation of Nitric Oxide Synthase and Superoxide Dismutase Gene Expression by Altered Thyroid Levels in Adult Rat Brain
The effects of altered thyroid hormones level (through induction of Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism) on oxidative stress and antioxidant biomarkers as well as on gene expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase and superoxide dismutase of adult male rat brain were studied. Hypothyroidism was induced by daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of propylthiouracil (PTU, 10 mg/kg body weight) for...
متن کاملEffect of Angiotensin II on Blood Flow in Acute and Chronically Inflamed Knee Joints of Rabbits: The Role of Nitric Oxide
Background: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) upregulation in stromal cells of joints affected by rheumatoid arthritis may lead to higher tissue angiotensin II that is a vasoconstrictor and mitogen factor. To date, the role of angiotensin II on regulating blood flow in inflamed joints has not been studied. Methods: Acute and chronic joint inflammation was induced in rabbits by intra-articular...
متن کاملEffect of nitric oxide modulation on the basic and rate-dependent electrophysiological properties of AV-node in the isolated heart of rabbit: The role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors
Introduction: Recent studies showed that nitrergic system have specific modulatory effects on electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular (AV) node. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on the electrophysiological properties of isolated rabbit AV node and to investigate the role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors in the mechanism of its action...
