Endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilation in resistance arteries from hypertensive rats.
The endothelium-dependent and presumed endothelium-independent vasodilators acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside, respectively, were used to characterize relaxation responses of mesenteric resistance arteries from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Vessels were preconstricted using concentrations of norepinephrine or 5-hydroxytryptamine, which re...
متن کامل[Amiodarone causes endothelium-dependent vasodilation in canine coronary arteries].
OBJECTIVE To assess the vasodilating effects of amiodarone on canine coronary arteries by using solutions of amiodarone dissolved in polysorbate 80 or water. METHODS Rings of coronary arteries, with or without intact endothelium, were immersed in Krebs solution and connected to a transducer for measuring the isometric force promoted by a vascular contraction. The arteries were exposed to incr...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent vasodilation by ferulic acid in aorta from chronic renal hypertensive rats.
BACKGROUND Ferulic acid (FA) is a naturally occurring nutritional compound. Although it has been shown to have antihypertensive effects, its effects on vascular function have not been intensively established. The aim of this study was to assess the vasoreactivity of FA in chronic two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) renal hypertensive rats. METHODS Hypertension was induced in 2K1C rats by clipping the...
متن کاملCaptopril improves impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in hypertensive patients.
Animal studies suggest that some angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors augment endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. We aimed to determine if captopril augments endothelium-dependent vasodilation in middle-aged hypertensive patients. By using strain-gauge plethysmography, forearm vasodilation evoked with intra-arterial acetylcholine (4, 8, 16, and 24 micrograms/min) or nitroprusside (0.2, 0....
متن کاملSaffron Induced Relaxation in Isolated Rat Aorta via Endothelium Dependent and Independent Mechanisms
Crocus sativus L. (saffron) is a widely used food additive for its color and taste. The hypotensive effects of saffron have been shown in previous studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of vasodilatory effects induced by saffron on isolated rat aorta.To study the vasodilatory effects of saffron aqueous extract (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/mL), isolated rat thoracic aorta rings were co...
