Effect of epinephrine on neutrophil kinetics in rabbit lungs.

چکیده
The effect of epinephrine on neutrophil (PMN) kinetics in rabbit lungs was evaluated by measuring the retention of radiolabeled PMN's in the lung, the exchange rate between the marginated and circulating pools of PMN's, and the erythrocyte (RBC) transit time. Epinephrine treatment decreased RBC transit times and increased exchange rates in the regions with the shortest transit times but did not change the pulmonary recovery of radiolabeled PMN's. When regions of similar RBC transit time were compared, epinephrine did not affect PMN retention at short transit times but did produce greater retention at long transit times. These data suggest that the major effect of epinephrine was to increase the proportion of the lung having short RBC transit times and fast exchange rates between the marginated and circulating pools. However, this effect did not decrease the overall retention of PMN's most likely because it was balanced by recruitment of additional capillary segments, which increased PMN retention in regions with longer transit times.

The objective of the present study was to determine if modifications would occur due to epinephrine perfusion and simulating stressful situations (2 µg/ kg/ min, an animal)and transportation,causing change of the values of extractable protein concentrations, SDS PAGE profiles and the calpain calpastatin complex in silver rabbit longissimus muscles resulting in consequent changes in meat tendern...
متن کاملMicrovascular permeability of the non-heart-beating rabbit lung after warm ischemia and reperfusion: role of neutrophil elastase.
BACKGROUND The duration of warm ischemia and reperfusion injury is a major limiting factor in the setting of lung transplantation with non-heart-beating donors (NHBD). We hypothesized that reperfusion with neutrophil elastase inhibitor or leukocyte-depleted blood has an inhibitory effect on the ischemia-reperfusion injury of NHBD rabbit lungs. METHODS To assess the lung injury, we used a perf...
متن کاملRole of neutrophils in xanthine/xanthine oxidase-induced oxidant injury in isolated rabbit lungs.
Reactive oxygen species have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung injury. This study was designed to clarify the role of intrapulmonary neutrophils in the development of xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO)-induced lung injury in isolated buffer-perfused rabbit lungs. We measured microvascular fluid filtration coefficient (K(f)) and wet-to-dry weight ratio to assess lung...
متن کاملThe Interaction between Trolox and 4,4’-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2’-disulfonic Acid on Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction in the Isolated Rabbit Lung
Background: The mechanism of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is still debatable. It has been proposed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) might be involved in HPV. However, there is no special transporter for superoxide anion in the cell membrane and it may release from the cells via anion exchanger. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of ROS and anion ex...
