Tunicamycin increases intracellular calcium levels in bovine aortic endothelial cells.
Tunicamycin is a nucleoside antibiotic that inhibits protein glycosylation and palmitoylation. The therapeutic use of tunicamycin is limited in animals because of its toxic effects, particularly in cerebral vasculature. Tunicamycin decreases palmitoylation of the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase, stimulates nitric oxide synthesis, and increases the concentration of intracellular cal...
متن کاملLosartan increases bradykinin levels in hypertensive humans.
BACKGROUND Studies in animals and humans indicate a role for kinins in the actions of angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers. However, the effect of these compounds on kinin levels in humans is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured angiotensin (Ang), bradykinin (BK), and kallidin peptides in subjects with essential hypertension administered placebo, losartan (50 mg OD), and eprosartan ...
متن کاملAn oxidized metabolite of linoleic acid increases intracellular calcium in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells.
EKODE, an epoxy-keto derivative of linoleic acid, was previously shown to stimulate aldosterone secretion in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of exogenous EKODE on cytosolic [Ca(2+)] increase and aimed to elucidate the mechanism involved in this process. Through the use of the fluorescent Ca(2+)-sensitive dye Fluo-4, EKODE was shown to rapidly incr...
متن کاملDepolarization-induced Intracellular Free Calcium Concentration Increases Show No Desensitizing Effect in Rat Odontoblasts.
Odontoblasts play an important role in the transduction of the sensory signals underlying dentinal pain. Transmembrane voltage-independent Ca(2+) influx in odontoblasts has been well described. Voltage-dependent Ca(2+) influx has also been reported, but its biophysical properties remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the desensitizing effect of voltage-dependent Ca(2+)...
متن کاملInhibition of bradykinin B2receptor preserves microcirculation in experimental pancreatitis in rats.
The effect of B2 receptor bradykinin antagonist icatibant on postcapillary leukostasis, microcirculatory stasis, and tissue necrosis was studied in acute pancreatitis. In rats, pancreatitis was induced by intraductal injection of sodium taurocholate (ST), intravenous caerulein and intraductal infusion of glucodeoxycholic acid (GDOC), or intravenous caerulein infusion alone. Intravital pancreati...
