چکیده

Oxygen radicals are produced during oxidative metabolism in proportion to the tissue oxygen tension. The studies reported here have shown that oxygen radicals or the sulfhydryl oxidant, diamide, caused pulmonary vasodilatation in the isolated perfused rat lung. Could oxygen radicals play a role in the physiologic control of pulmonary vascular smooth muscle tone?

A redox-based O2 sensor in rat pulmonary vasculature.

The effector mechanism of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) involves K+ channel inhibition with subsequent membrane depolarization. It remains uncertain how hypoxia modulates K+ channel activity. The similar effects of hypoxia and mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) inhibitors on metabolism and vascular tone suggest a common mechanism of action. ETC inhibitors and hypoxia may al...

Quinapril Attenuates the Effect of Long-Term L-NAME Administration on the Vascular Reactivity of Diabetic Rats

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors including quinapril could exert a protective effect on cardiovascular system through endothelial system in normoglycemic and diabetic rats. The present experimental work was designed to study the vascular reactivity of aortic ring segments isolated from streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats treated for 4 weeks with nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAM...
