Responsiveness to growth factors in aortic vascular smooth muscle cells from rats with cirrhosis.
Hemodynamic changes in cirrhosis may be associated with alterations in aortic vascular smooth muscle cell (AVSMC) function. The present study compared the proliferative response to serum and growth factors in cirrhotic and control AVSMC. Serum from cirrhotic rats, cirrhotic cell lysates, and the conditioned medium of cultured cirrhotic AVSMC induced an increase in [3H]thymidine incorporation in...
متن کاملDecreased sensitivity to vasoconstrictors in aortic rings after acute exposure to nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide (NO) has been postulated as a regulator of vascular reactivity, and the current study tested the hypothesis that NO-induced decreased sensitivity to vasoconstrictors persists following removal of NO. Endothelium-denuded segments of rat aorta were incubated 2-4 h at 37 degrees C with the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP). Incubation produced rightward shifts in concent...
متن کاملVascular hyporesponsiveness in aortic rings from cirrhotic rats: role of nitric oxide and endothelium.
1. The role of nitric oxide as mediator of the vascular alterations present in different models of experimental liver cirrhosis is controversial. In the present study, we evaluated the role of nitric oxide and that of the endothelium in the response to phenylephrine and acetylcholine of isolated aortic rings from chronic bile duct-ligated (29 days) rats and their corresponding controls. Experim...
متن کاملEffect of Subchronic Administration of Aqueous Artemisia annua Extract on a1-Adrenoceptor Agonist-Induced Contraction of Isolated Aorta in Rat
Artemisia species, growing in almost all the northern hemisphere, is used in folk medicine of some countries as a remedy for hypertension. Since some cardiovascular disorders including hypertension are accompanied with altered responsiveness of vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors, the effect of aqueous Artemisia annua extract (100 and 200 mg kg-1) on a1-adrenoceptor agonist-induced contraction ...
متن کاملVascular Reactivity Concerning Orthosiphon stamineus Benth-Mediated Antihypertensive in Aortic Rings of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
Orthosiphon stamineus Benth has been traditionally used to treat hypertension. The study aimed to investigate the vascular reactivity of water extract (WOS) and water : methanolic (1 : 1) extract (WMOS) of Orthosiphon stamineus Benth and AT1 receptors blocker in the mechanisms of antihypertensive mediated by α 1-adrenergic receptor and EDNO and PGI2 releases in the SHR aortic rings. SHR (230-28...
