Endothelium-dependent relaxation in experimental atherosclerosis in the rabbit.
The effect of feeding a diet supplemented with lipids and containing 2% cholesterol on the endothelium-dependent relaxation of rabbit aorta to acetylcholine was assessed. The effect of feeding a standard rabbit diet after an initial period of 2% cholesterol feeding was assessed also. Age-matched male, New Zealand white rabbits were fed either a 2% cholesterol diet or a standard rabbit diet. The...
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 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...
متن کاملEndothelium-Dependent Relaxation and Angiotensin II Sensitivity in Experimental Preeclampsia
OBJECTIVE We investigated endothelial dysfunction and the role of angiotensin (Ang)-II type I (AT1-R) and type II (AT2-R) receptor in the changes in the Ang-II sensitivity in experimental preeclampsia in the rat. METHODS Aortic rings were isolated from low dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infused pregnant rats (experimental preeclampsia; n=9), saline-infused pregnant rats (n=8), and saline (n=8)...
متن کاملCeruloplasmin impairs endothelium-dependent relaxation of rabbit aorta.
This study evaluated the effects of ceruloplasmin, the copper-containing blue oxidase of vertebrate plasma, on the relaxation of rabbit aortic rings after endothelial release of nitric oxide (NO). Ceruloplasmin at physiological, i.e., micromolar, concentrations inhibited relaxation of rabbit aorta induced by endothelium-dependent agonists like acetylcholine or ADP, whereas it was ineffective to...
