Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibition restores impaired ACh relaxation in hypertensive conduit pulmonary arteries.
Responses to acetylcholine (ACh) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were compared in large (LPA) and small pulmonary artery (SPA) rings from normoxic and chronically hypoxic (CH) rats. In addition, the effects of a selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5 inhibitor, E-4021, on ACh-induced relaxation were evaluated. Chronic hypoxia markedly decreased both ACh- and SNP-induced relaxations in LPA but not i...
متن کاملImpaired cerebrovascular reactivity in multiple sclerosis.
IMPORTANCE Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) is an inherent indicator of the dilatory capacity of cerebral arterioles for a vasomotor stimulus for maintaining a spontaneous and instant increase of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in response to neural activation. The integrity of this mechanism is essential to preserving healthy neurovascular coupling; however, to our knowledge, no studies have investi...
متن کاملPrevalence of diabetes, impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance in patients with thalassemia major in Iran: A meta-analysis
Background: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of diabetes, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in Iranian patients with thalassemia major. Methods: The current study has been conducted based on PRISMA guideline. To obtain the documents, Persian and English scientific databases such as Magiran, Iranmedex, SID, Medlib, IranDoc, Scopus, PubMed, Scien...
متن کاملImpaired gastric relaxation in patients with achalasia.
Achalasia is considered a primary motility disorder confined to the oesophagus. The lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) in achalasia is frequently hypertonic and manifests absent or incomplete relaxation in response to deglution. On the other hand, the LOS and the proximal stomach act physiologically as a functional unit whereby relaxation of the LOS during deglution is associated with receptive ...
متن کامل4-Aminopyridine restores impaired hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in endotoxemic mice.
BACKGROUND Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is impaired during inflammatory lung processes such as pneumonia or the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Voltage-gated potassium channels play a central role in mediating HPV. The aim of this study was to determine whether 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), a known voltage-gated potassium channel inhibitor, may restore HPV in sepsis. METHODS The ef...
