Here in the current research work we have developed newer method for synthesis of diferuloyl methane(curcumin)Ca-q. MangnesiumHydroxide were found to be an effective and mild base curcumin its derivatives obtained by reaction one equivalent acetyl acetone with two corresponding aromatic aldehyde microwave(240 W). The existingscheme offers severalaids such as high yield, less time, environmental...

We tested the hypothesis that endothelial dysfunction induced by angiotensin II (Ang-hypertension) would impair regulatory control of vascular smooth muscle L-type Ca channels by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). We studied cerebral lenticulostriate arterioles (LSAs) from control rats, from rats infused with Ang (240 g · kg 1 · h 1 SQ 4 days), which were normotensive, and from Ang-hyper...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the intracellular messenger cyclic GMP (cGMP) on sequestration of cytosolic calcium (Ca) into the intracellular Ca store (the sarcoplasmic reticulum) of vascular smooth muscle. Using saponin-skinned primary cultures of rat aortic smooth muscle, we investigated the effect of cGMP on "Ca uptake in monolayers of cells. The intracellular s...

The anomalies of enzyme action have frequently been accounted for by the assumption of an intermediate compound between the enzyme and the substrate. I t was shown, however, by Nelson and Hitchcock t that in the case of invertase the experiments could not be accurately calculated on this basis. The writer found with trypsin' that although the effect of varying the substrate concentration could ...

The effects of Mg(2+) and nifedipine (Nif) on vasoconstriction and Ca(2+) transients were studied in intact, pressurized rat mesenteric arteries with myogenic tone. Changes in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) were measured with confocal microscopy in fluo 4-AM loaded, individual myocytes. Myogenic tone was abolished by 10 mM Mg(2+) or 0.3 microM Nif. Contractions induced by 75 mM ...
