Cyclooxygenase inhibition restores nitric oxide activity in essential hypertension.
To evaluate whether cyclooxygenase constrictor substances can impair nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation in essential hypertension, in seven normotensive subjects (43.3 +/- 4.1 years; BP, 117 +/- 6/81 +/- 2 mm Hg) and seven essential hypertensive patients (47.1 +/- 5.2 years; BP, 151 +/- 8/98 +/- 4 mm Hg) we studied forearm blood flow (strain-gauge plethysmography) modifications induced by intra...
متن کاملIs central nitric oxide essential in hypertension?
It is becoming increasingly evident that central nervous system nitric oxide (NO) may be an important contributor to the development of hypertension in light of its centrally-mediated sympatho-inhibitory actions [1–3]. In this issue of the journal, Ferrari and Fior-Chadi [4] investigate the role of central neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the development of hypertension using the sponta...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and essential hypertension: is there an interaction?
Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase, Cyclooxygenase-2, and Essential Hypertension: Is There an Interaction? To the Editor: Nitric oxide (NO), prostacyclin (PGI2), and thromboxane (TxA2) are produced by NO synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (ie, COX-1 and COX-2) isoforms, respectively. They are highly potent vasoactive molecules. NOS and COX pathways are assumed to interact and modulate each other....
متن کاملNitric oxide activity in childhood hypertension.
OBJECTIVES To investigate nitric oxide (NO) activity in childhood hypertension using nitrite and nitrate (NOx) concentrations in plasma as an index of nitric oxide generation. DESIGN Cross sectional study. SETTING Tertiary care paediatric centre and district general hospitals in the UK. PATIENTS Children attending the above centre for treatment of hypertension. The control subjects were n...
متن کاملNitric oxide synthase-inhibition hypertension is associated with altered endothelial cyclooxygenase function.
We reported previously that endothelium-intact superior mesenteric arteries (SMA) from N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA)-treated hypertensive rats (LHR) contract more to norepinephrine (NE) than SMA from control rats. Others have shown that nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibition increases cyclooxygenase (COX) function and expression. We hypothesized that augmented vascular sensitivity to N...
