Endogenous nitric oxide modulates responses of tissue and airway resistance to vagal stimulation in piglets.
The role of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) in modulating the excitatory response of distal airways to vagal stimulation is unknown. In decerebrate, ventilated, open-chest piglets aged 3-10 days, lung resistance (RL) was partitioned into tissue resistance (Rti) and airway resistance (Raw) by using alveolar capsules. Changes in RL, Rti, and Raw were evaluated during vagal stimulation at increasing ...
متن کاملInteraction between nitric oxide and endogenous vasoconstrictors in control of renal blood flow.
The level of renal blood flow (RBF) is controlled by opposing vasoconstrictor and vasodilator influences. In a recent investigation in normotensive dogs, we found that combined blockade of endothelin type A (ET(A)) receptors and angiotensin II formation induces marked increases in RBF that were much larger than the effects of blocking either system alone. The aim of the present study was to det...
متن کاملNitric oxide from perivascular nerves modulates cerebral arterial pH reactivity.
In the isolated rat middle cerebral artery (MCA) we investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP in the vasodilatory response to extraluminal acidosis. Acidosis increased vessel diameter from 140 +/- 27 microm (pH 7.4) to 187 +/- 30 microm (pH 7.0, P < 0.01). NO synthase (NOS) inhibition by N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, 10 microM) reduced baseline diameter (103 +/- 20 microm, P < 0.01) a...
متن کاملEndogenous Morphine : Up - to - Date Review 2011 ( endogenous morphine / dopamine / catecholamine / nitric oxide / nitric oxide synthase )
Positive evolutionary pressure has apparently preserved the ability to synthesize chemically authentic morphine, albeit in homeopathic concentrations, throughout animal phyla. Despite the establishment of a progressively rigorous and mechanistically focused historical literature extending from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s that supported the expression of chemically authentic morphine by anima...
متن کاملNitric oxide modulates microvascular permeability.
We recently demonstrated that inhibitors of nitric oxide (NO) production cause a dramatic increase in leukocyte adherence and emigration in postcapillary venules. The objective of this study was to assess whether inhibition of NO production leads to vascular protein leakage and increased microvascular permeability in feline small intestine and to determine whether adherent leukocytes contribute...
