Secondhand tobacco smoke impairs rabbit pulmonary artery endothelium-dependent relaxation.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether secondhand smoke (SHS) induces pulmonary artery endothelial dysfunction, and whether dietary L-arginine supplementation is preventive. BACKGROUND SHS causes coronary and peripheral arterial endothelial dysfunction. METHODS The effects of L-arginine supplementation (2.25% solution) and SHS (10 weeks) on pulmonary vascular reactivity were examined in 32 rabbits...
متن کاملRabbit polymorphonuclear neutrophils elicit endothelium-dependent contraction in vascular smooth muscle.
The present studies were designed to investigate the interaction between activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and endothelial regulation of vascular smooth muscle function. Rabbit peritoneal PMNs (4 x 10(3)-4 x 10(5) cells/ml) added to muscle bath chambers containing phenylephrine-precontracted rabbit isolated aortic rings produced no effect on vascular tone. However, when PMNs were a...
متن کامل5-Hydroxytryptamine1B receptor-mediated contraction of rabbit saphenous vein and basilar artery: role of vascular endothelium.
This study characterizes the sumatriptan-sensitive [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(1B/1D)] receptor in rabbit saphenous vein and basilar artery. (S)-(-)-1-[2-[4-(4-Methoxy-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethyl]isochroman-6-carboxylic acid methylamide (PNU-109291), a 5-HT(1D) subtype-selective agonist (human K(i) = 2.5 +/- 0.07 nM), did not contract either tissue, whereas o-methoxyphenylpiperazide derivativ...
متن کاملEndothelium-Dependent Relaxation of Rabbit Aorta
Exposure of isolated arteries to oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been reported to suppress endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR). To determine whether lipid degradation products in oxidized LDL contribute to impaired relaxation, we have tested the responsiveness of isolated rabbit aortas to endothelium-dependent relaxants (acetylcholine, ATP, and calcium ionophore A23187...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent contractions in rabbit pulmonary artery are mediated by thromboxane A2.
This study was designed to characterize the endothelium-dependent contracting factor (EDCF) released by arachidonic acid (AA) and methacholine (MeCH) in the rabbit pulmonary artery. AA and MeCH contract the rabbit pulmonary artery; however, the effects of both are blocked by denuding the vessels and by administration of indomethacin (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor), dazoxiben (a thromboxane [TX] sy...
