Beta(2)-adrenergic receptor gene delivery to the endothelium corrects impaired adrenergic vasorelaxation in hypertension.
BACKGROUND Impaired beta-adrenergic receptor (AR)-mediated vasorelaxation in hypertension plays a role in increased peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure. Because the beta(2)AR is the most abundant vascular AR subtype, we sought to enhance betaAR vasorelaxation by overexpressing beta(2)ARs via adenoviral-mediated gene transfer (ADbeta(2)AR) to the vascular endothelium of the carotid...
متن کاملCONTRACTIONS DUE TO α-ADRENOCEPTOR AGONISTS ARE MEDIATED BY α1-ADRENOCEPTORS IN RAT CAROTID ARTERY
Some large vessels have a mixed functional population of postjunctional α1- and α 2-adrenoceptors. The purpose of the work presented here was to investigate the population of postjunctional α -adrenoceptors in the rat isolated common carotid artelY Male Wi star rats were killed by overdose with pentobarbitone sodium, after which the left and right common carotid arteries were removed. Rings...
متن کاملRelaxatory Effect of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is Mediated by Same Pathway in Diabetic and Normal Rat Mesenteric Bed vessel
Objective(s) Diabetes related dysfunction of resistance vessels is associated with vascular occlusive diseases. Vasorelaxant agents may have a role in control of diabetic cardiovascular complications. Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) has demonstrated to cause vasorelaxation. The present study was designed to determine i) the vasorelaxatory effect of GABA on diabetic vessels and ii) the role of e...
متن کاملSimvastatin restores endothelial NO-mediated vasorelaxation in large arteries after myocardial infarction.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) after myocardial infarction is associated with diminished endothelial nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasorelaxation. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors have been shown to modulate vascular tone independent of the effects on lipid lowering. We hypothesized that simvastatin restores NO-dependent vasorelaxation with CHF. We found that incubation of t...
متن کاملPhysical conditioning can modulate endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in rabbits.
To investigate whether exercise training can modulate endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, male New Zealand White rabbits were divided into either control or training groups. The training animals were trained on a treadmill with a running speed of 0.88 km/hr on a 0 degree grade for 10-60 minutes/day, 5 days/week for 8 weeks. After exercise training, the resting heart rate was lowered (p < 0.05...
