Potentiation by anticholinesterases of the response of rat mesenteric arteries to sympathetic postganglionic nerve stimulation.
نویسنده
چکیده
The anticholinesterase agents, physostigmine, neostigmine, and diisopropylfluorophosphonate were studied for their effect on the vasoconstrictor responses of perfused mesenteric arteries of rat produced by stimulation of their sympathetic postganglionic nerves. The experiments were performed at 30°C. All three anticholinesterase drugs greatly potentiated the vasoconstrictor response to nerve stimulation at a frequency of 1/sec, increased it less at a frequency of 2/sec, and still less at a frequency of 3/sec. At a frequency of 6/sec, there was practically no increase. The infusion of physostigmine potentiated slightly the response to injected norepinephrine, whereas the infusion of neostigmine or diisopropylfluorophosphonate did not alter the response to injected norepinephrine. The increase in response to adrenergic nerve stimulation produced by anticholinesterase agents was interpreted to be due to the inactivation of cholinesterase, thereby causing an increased accumulation of acetylcholine which in turn liberated more norepinephrine from the sympathetic postganglionic fibers.

In isolated perfused rabbit mesenteric arteries, prostaglandin (PG) E1 and E2, 1-5NG/ML, did not alter the basal perfusion pressure, but reduced the vasoconstrictor responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation; the responses to injected norepinephrine were reduced by PGE1 and variably affected by PGE2. In contrast, in rat mesenteric arteries PGE1 and PGE2, 1-5 ng/ml, potentiated the vasoconstrict...

When studied on isolated rat mesenteric arteries perfused with Tyrode's solution, angiotensin I and angiotensin II (1 ng/ml), a synthetic tetradecapeptide renin substrate, and a purified hog renin substance (50-100 ng/ml) potentiated vasoconstrictor responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation and to injected norepinephrine without altering basal pressure. These agents produced a greater augmenta...

متن کاملTaurine suppresses pressor response through the inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity and the improvement in baro-reflex sensitivity of spontaneously hypertensive rats.
To investigate the effect of taurine on the sympathetic nervous system, I observed pressor responses of perfused mesenteric arteries by electrical stimulation and baro-reflex sensitivity of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR/Izm) and control Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY/Izm) treated with taurine. Taurine added to the perfusate suppressed norepinephrine (NE) overflow and the pressor response mediate...

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...
