Enhanced blood pressure variability in eNOS knockout mice.
It has been shown previously that endogenous nitric oxide can buffer arterial blood pressure variability in dogs and rats. In these former studies, all isoforms of the nitric oxide synthase were blocked pharmacologically and an increased blood pressure variability was observed. Thus the question as to which isoform of the nitric oxide synthase is responsible for the blood pressure buffering eff...
متن کاملDiabetic eNOS-knockout mice develop accelerated retinopathy.
PURPOSE Dysfunction of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications. This study was undertaken to determine the role of eNOS in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR), by investigating the functional consequences of its deficiency in the diabetic state. METHODS Diabetes was induced in eNOS-knockout (eNOS(-/-)) and C5...
متن کاملEnhanced release of prostaglandins contributes to flow-induced arteriolar dilation in eNOS knockout mice.
Nitric oxide and prostaglandins were shown to contribute to the endothelial mediation of flow-induced dilation of skeletal muscle arterioles of rats. Thus, we hypothesized that flow-induced dilation and its mediation are altered in gracilis muscle arterioles of mice deficient in the gene for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS-KO) compared with control wild-type (WT) mice. Gracilis muscle a...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 Overexpression Improves Renal Function in eNOS Knockout Mice.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate the renal phenotype under conditions of an activated renal ET-1 system in the status of nitric oxide deficiency, we compared kidney function and morphology in wild-type, ET-1 transgenic (ET+/+), endothelial nitric oxide synthase knockout (eNOS-/-) and ET+/+eNOS-/- mice. METHODS We assessed blood pressure, parameters of renal morphology, plasma cystatin C, urinar...
متن کاملAssociation of eNOS gene polymorphisms T-786C and G894T with blood pressure variability in man.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) T-786C and G894T in the gene encoding eNOS with blood pressure variability (BPV) in man. Blood pressure was recorded beat-to-beat at rest three times in periods of one week (5 min, Finapres, breathing at 0.33 Hz) in 152 subjects (19-24 years). Systolic (SBPV(0.1r)/SBPV(0.1a)) and diastolic (DBPV(0.1r...
