Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in rabbit blastocysts.
Concentrations of both nucleotides were significantly higher in Day-6 than in Day-5 blastocysts but the ratio of cAMP to cGMP changed from 0.5 to 1.5.
متن کاملCyclic AMP modulation of adrenoreceptor-mediated arterial smooth muscle contraction
We examined the effects of cyclic AMP (cAMP) on the intracellular Ca2+ release in both the intact and skinned arterial smooth muscle. The amount of Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was estimated indirectly by caffeine-induced contraction of the skinned preparation and directly by caffeine-stimulated 45Ca efflux from the previously labeled skinned preparation. The norepinephrine-induced r...
متن کاملActions of papaverine on intestinal smooth muscle and its inhibition of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP phosphodiesterases.
Papaverine, a nonspecific smooth muscle relaxant, is well known to be a potent cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor (1, 2). In recent papers (3-8) it has been reported that smooth muscle relaxing action of papaverine is likely to be mediated through an increase of cyclic AMP due to its phosphodiesterase inhibition. Recently attention has drawn to the role of cyclic GMP, which often presents p...
متن کاملRegulation of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype by cyclic GMP and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase.
This basic science review examines the role of cGMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype. The first such studies suggested a role for nitric oxide (NO) and atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP), and the downstream second messenger cGMP, in the inhibition of VSMC proliferation. Subsequently, many laboratories confirmed the anti-pro...
متن کاملSmooth muscle cell expression of type I cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase is suppressed by continuous exposure to nitrovasodilators, theophylline, cyclic GMP, and cyclic AMP.
A key component of the nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway in smooth muscle cells (SMC) is the type I GMP-dependent protein kinase (PK-G I). Activation of PK-G I mediates the reduction of cytoplasmic calcium concentrations and vasorelaxation. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that continuous exposure of SMC in culture to the nitrovasodilators S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillam...
