Clarifying endothelin type B receptor function.
Endothelin (ET) receptors have become the targets for the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular disorders and a mixed ET type A (ETA)/ET type B (ETB) receptor antagonist, bosentan, is currently being used to effectively treat pulmonary hypertension. An ongoing debate has revolved around the question of whether selective ETA receptor blockade would be preferable to using the mixed antagonist....
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in Endothelin-1 and Endothelin type A receptor expression in the lungs of chickens (Broiler versus layer)
Background: Broilers lung mechanisms that regulate endothelin (ET) in the lung are complex and poorly understood. Objectives: Methods: In this experiment lung ET-1 mRNA levels and lung mRNA expression for the ET(A) receptors were determined in lung tissue weekly (term = 42 days, intervals = 7 days). Serum endothelin concentration was also measured at these ages. Results: The study showed that e...
متن کاملEndogenous endothelin in human coronary vascular function: differential contribution of endothelin receptor types A and B.
Endothelin 1 mediates coronary vasoconstriction and endothelial dysfunction via endothelin receptor type A (ET(A)) activation. However, the effects of selective endothelin receptor type B (ET(B)) and combined ET(A+B) receptor blockade on coronary vasomotion are unknown. We measured coronary vascular tone and endothelium-dependent and -independent vasomotor function before and after selective in...
متن کاملAdrenergic and endothelin B receptor-dependent hypertension in dopamine receptor type-2 knockout mice.
Polymorphism of the dopamine receptor type-2 (D(2)) gene is associated with essential hypertension. To assess whether D(2) receptors participate in regulation of blood pressure (BP), we studied mice in which the D(2) receptor was disrupted. In anesthetized mice, systolic and diastolic BPs (in millimeters of mercury) were higher in D(2) homozygous and heterozygous mutant mice than in D(2)+/+ lit...
