Asymmetric distribution of charged domains on the two fronts of the endothelium of iris blood vessels.

چکیده
The authors have studied the distribution of anionic and cationic sites on both luminal and abluminal endothelial aspects of iridial vessels in Macaca mulatta and Macaca fascicularis. With the animals in general anesthesia, anionic ferritin (AF) and cationic ferritin (CF) were either injected intravenam or perfused at known intraocular pressure (15-20 mmHg) through the anterior chamber. AF introduced intravenam was retained in the vessels' lumen. The tight junctions between the endothelial cells were impermeable and the plasmalemmal vesicles did not transport tracer to the iridial stroma. In contrast, when perfused through the anterior chamber, AF was present in the vessels' lumen. Here again the tight junctions between the endothelial cells were impermeable, but AF was contained within a great number of plasmalemmal vesicles. Iridial vessels were impermeable to CF perfused into the lumen, but a continuous layer of CF particles was found to adhere to the luminal plasma membrane. When perfused through the anterior chamber, CF was bound to the proteoglycans associated with collagen fibrils of the iridial stroma and basal laminae of stromal, pericytic, and endothelial cells but was never found in the vessels' lumen. These results indicate that different electrical charges are associated with the plasmalemmal vesicles on the luminal and abluminal fronts of iridial vessels. The authors suggest that in these vessels a unidirectional vesicular transport is responsible for the selective movement of anionic organic substances from the tissues of the eye to the bloodstream.

Investigation on the vasodilatory effect of insulin through KATP channels and NO pathway in the skin vessels of native and diabetic rats
Introduction: Endothelium and smooth muscle dysfunction are the most important complications of diabetes. In type 1 diabetic patients, absence of insulin leads to vasoconstriction and lower skin blood perfusion. Release of some mediators by endothelium which is induced by insulin causes vasodilation, but the exact mechanism of insulin vasodilatory effect is not detected properly. At present st...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Blood Flow Through Narrow Vessels with Mild-Stenosis (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper we examine the effect of mild stenosis on blood flow, in an irregular axisymmetric artery with oscillating pressure gradient. The Herschel-Bulkley fluid model has been utilized for this study. The combined influence of an asymmetric shape and surface irregularities of constriction has been explored in this computational study. An extensive quantitative analysis has been performed ...
متن کاملThe Possible Involvement of Nitric Oxide/Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor in Atropine-Induced Vasorelaxation
Atropine has been used to block cholinergic neurotransmission in basic research. Large doses of atropine cause vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin. This effect is apparently unconnected with the antimuscarinic activity of atropine and seems to be due to a direct action on the blood vessels. It has been suggested that atropine blocks muscarinic receptors at low doses and it induces th...

Ever since Thomas Lauder - Bruton First introduced Amylnitrate into clinical medicine, nitrovasodilators of different classes have been extensively used in the medical treatment of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and heart failure. Understanding the mechanisms of action of nitrates has been greatly expanded in the last decade, particularly since the discovery of endothelium dependent rel...
متن کاملHigher moments portfolio Optimization with unequal weights based on Generalized Capital Asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric Power Distribution
The main criterion in investment decisions is to maximize the investors utility. Traditional capital asset pricing models cannot be used when asset returns do not follow a normal distribution. For this reason, we use capital asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric power distributed (CAPM-IIAPD) and capital asset pricing model with asymmetric independent and identically a...
