Molecular plasticity of vascular wall during N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester-induced hypertension: modulation of proinflammatory signals.

It has previously been reported that hypertension induced by the chronic blockade of NO production is characterized by a proinflammatory phenotype of the arterial wall associated with a periarterial accumulation of inflammatory cells. In the present study, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the luminal and perivascular accumulation of inflammatory cells were evaluated in the aort...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 antagonist TM5441 attenuates Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester-induced hypertension and vascular senescence.

BACKGROUND Long-term inhibition of nitric oxide synthase by L-arginine analogues such as N(ω)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) has been shown to induce senescence in vitro and systemic hypertension and arteriosclerosis in vivo. We previously reported that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)-deficient mice (PAI-1(-/-)) are protected against L-NAME-induced pathologies. In this study, ...

Sustained hypertension induced by orally administered nitro-L-arginine.

To study the hemodynamic and metabolic effects of chronic inhibition of endothelium-derived nitric oxide, we treated conscious rats with an oral solution of N omega-nitro-L-arginine (LNA), an inhibitor of nitric oxide production by endothelial cells. After 3 days of treatment with 2.74 mM LNA, rats had higher blood pressures (136 +/- 5 versus 113 +/- 3 mm Hg, p < 0.0005) than did the control an...

NG-nitro L-arginine methyl ester and other alkyl esters of arginine are muscarinic receptor antagonists.

Analogues of L-arginine with modifications at the terminal guanidino nitrogen and/or the carboxyl terminus of the molecule have been widely used for their ability to inhibit the production of nitric oxide and are thought to be competitive antagonists of nitric oxide synthase. The present studies were designed to test the possibility that these agents are also muscarinic receptor antagonists. Ac...

Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a depressor in NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester-induced hypertension during pregnancy.

Inhibition of nitric oxide production with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) increases blood pressure and fetal mortality in pregnant rats. We previously reported that administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) reduces the blood pressure and fetal death produced by L-NAME. To determine the hemodynamic role of endogenous CGRP in this setting, CGRP8-37, a CGRP receptor antag...
