We previously reported that adrenomedullin (AM), a potent vasodilator peptide discovered in pheochromocytoma cells, stimulates nitric oxide (NO) release in the rat kidney. To further investigate whether the NO-cGMP pathway is involved in the mechanisms of AM-induced vasodilation, we examined the effects of E-4021, a cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor, on AM-induced vasorelaxation in aort...
Hyperinsulinemia and high salt intake represent two independent cardiovascular risk factors. However, it is still unknown whether the change in dietary salt intake may affect the ability of insulin to stimulate whole-body glucose uptake and to modulate endothelial function. Regarding this latter issue, we have recently demonstrated that insulin enhances endothelial-mediated alpha2-adrenergic va...
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced in the endothelium in response to vasorelaxants, such as acetylcholine, and acts on vascular smooth muscle cells to induce vasorelaxation. Previously, we found that the smooth muscle of endothelium-denuded arteries expresses functional NO synthase. We hypothesized that the destruction of arterial anatomical integrity induced by denuding arteries of their endothelia...
Considerable evidence suggests that protein kinase C activation participates in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone. The objective of the current study was to examine the relations between inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) and myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) and vasorelaxation and blood pressure regulation in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Putative PKC inhibitors from two ...
Beta-adrenergic-mediated vasorelaxation declines with maturation and aging. Available data suggest that impaired stimulatory G-protein function could explain this deficit. We have previously found a loss of cholera toxin (CT)-stimulated adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation with age in rat aortic membrane preparations, without evidence for loss of the stimulatory alpha subunit of G protein (...
The mechanisms underlying the impairment of endothelium-mediated vasorelaxation induced by dietary hypercholesterolemia and the mechanisms of restoration of endothelial function following reintroduction of low cholesterol diet were evaluated. Feeding rats with high cholesterol diet induced hypercholesterolemia and high blood pressure. This was associated with reduced vasorelaxation in response ...
The nitroxyl anion (HNO) is emerging as a novel regulator of cardiovascular function with therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases such as heart failure. It remains unknown whether tolerance develops to HNO donors, a limitation of currently used nitrovasodilators. The susceptibility of the HNO donor, Angeli's salt (AS), to the development of vascular tolerance was compared with the NO...
