چکیده

Transmural nerve stimulation (TNS) induced relaxations in porcine and bovine basilar arteries which were abolished by tetrodotoxin (TTX) and by L-nitro-arginine (LNAG). However, TNS induced contractions in equine basilar artery which were abolished by TTX and by guanethidine, but not by LNAG. These results suggest that the TNS-induced contractions of equine basilar arteries may be mediated by norepinephrine release.

Presynaptic alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors mediate nicotine-induced nitric oxidergic neurogenic vasodilation in porcine basilar arteries.

We previously reported that nicotine-induced nitric oxide (NO)-mediated neurogenic vasodilation in the porcine basilar artery was dependent on intact sympathetic innervation. We further demonstrated in this artery that nicotine acted on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on presynaptic sympathetic nerve terminals to release norepinephrine (NE), which then acted on beta2-adrenoceptors lo...

Presynaptic prostaglandin E2 EP1-receptor facilitation of cerebral nitrergic neurogenic vasodilation.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) modulates autonomic transmission in the peripheral circulation. We investigated the role of endogenous PGE(2) and its presynaptic EP(1) receptor subtype in modulating the autonomic neurotransmission in cerebral vasculature. METHODS The standard in vitro tissue-bath technique was used for measuring changes in isolated porcine basilar arterial ...

Purinergic and non-purinergic innervation in the cerebral arteries of the dog.

1 Possible involvement of sympathetic purinergic transmission in the neurogenic response of dog cerebral and basilar arteries was examined with the use of alpha, beta-methylene ATP and adrenoceptor, cholinoceptor blocking agents. 2 In the isolated basilar arteries, electrical transmural stimulation produced a transient contraction which was frequently followed by a relaxation. This transient co...

Serotonin as an alternative transmitter in sympathetic nerves of large cerebral arteries of the rabbit.

The distribution of serotonin (5-HT)-like immunoreactive (5-HT-LI) nerves and the potential role of 5-HT as a vasoconstrictor transmitter in large cerebral arteries of the rabbit were examined. 5-HT-LI fibers with weak immunofluorescence were observed in the anterior cerebral, middle cerebral, and basilar arteries when fixed by immersion after dissection from exsanguinated animals. The 5-HT-LI ...

Mechanism of nicotine-induced relaxation in the porcine basilar artery.

The present experiment was designed to examine possible influence of adrenergic nerves on nicotine-induced neurogenic vasodilation in porcine basilar arteries denuded of endothelium. Nicotine and transmural nerve stimulation (TNS) induced relaxation of basilar arteries. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) abolished the relaxation elicited by TNS, but only partially blocked that induced by nicotine. Relaxation i...
