The Effects of L-Citrulline Pretreatment on the Isometric Tension of the Isolated Perfused Rat Aorta
Background: The achievement of an effective compound for prevention/treatment of hypertension with fewer complications has been of interest in recent years. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effects of L-citrulline pretreatment on the tension of isolated rat aortic tissues precontracted by different vasoconstrictors. METHODS: Sixteen male Wistar rats (300-350g) were randomly divided i...
متن کاملBlood Vessels Ambrisentan and Tadalafil Synergistically Relax Endothelin-Induced Contraction of Rat Pulmonary Arteries
Endothelin receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors are used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that a selective endothelin type A receptor antagonist (ambrisentan) and a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (tadalafil) may act synergistically to relax endothelin-constricted pulmonary arteries. Rat isolated intrapulmonary arterial rings contract...
متن کاملPRE- AND POSTJUNCTIONAL α-ADRENOCEPTORS IN RABBIT ARTICULAR BLOOD VESSELS
Previous in vitro work on rabbit knee joint vessels showed that vasoconstrictor effects of nerve stimulation and administration of α-adrenoceptor agonists were mediated predominantly by α1-adrenoceptors5,9 The present experiments were performed to assess the nature of α-adrenoceptor subtypes within these blood vessels in vivo. Dose/response relationships for adrenaline and noradrenaline pr...
متن کاملGraph matching: relax or not?
We consider the problem of exact and inexact matching of weighted undirected graphs, in which a bijective correspondence is sought to minimize a quadratic weight disagreement. This NP-hard problem is often relaxed as a convex quadratic program, in which the space of permutations is replaced by the space of doubly-stochastic matrices. However, the applicability of such a relaxation is poorly und...
متن کاملNitro blue tetrazolium inhibits but does not mimic hypoxic vasoconstriction in isolated rabbit lungs.
It has been suggested that hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) may mainly proceed via loss of normoxic vasodilation, forwarded by tonic O2-dependent formation of nitric oxide and superoxide (23). Both agents may stimulate guanylate cyclase, the latter via conversion to hydrogen peroxide and formation of compound I with catalase. We probed this hypothesis in perfused rabbit lungs, employing...
