Reduced arteriolar conducted vasoconstriction in septic mouse cremaster muscle is mediated by nNOS-derived NO.
OBJECTIVE Increased nitric oxide (NO) production in sepsis precipitates microcirculatory dysfunction. We aimed (i) to determine if NO is the key water-soluble factor in the recently discovered sepsis-induced deficit in arteriolar conducted vasoconstriction, (ii) to identify which nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms account for this deficit, and (iii) to examine the potential role of connexin37...
متن کاملContribution of nNOS- and eNOS-derived NO to microvascular smooth muscle NO exposure.
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in autocrine and paracrine manner in numerous physiological processes, including regulation of blood pressure and blood flow, platelet aggregation, and leukocyte adhesion. In vascular wall, most of the bioavailable NO is believed to derive from endothelial cell NO synthase (eNOS). Recently, neuronal NOS (nNOS) has been identified as a source of NO in th...
متن کاملConnexin expression and conducted vasodilation along arteriolar endothelium in mouse skeletal muscle.
Functional hyperemia requires the coordination of smooth muscle cell relaxation along and between branches of the arteriolar network. Vasodilation is conducted from cell to cell along the arteriolar wall through gap junction channels composed of connexin protein subunits. Within skeletal muscle, it is unclear whether arteriolar endothelium, smooth muscle, or both cell layers provide the cellula...
متن کاملCalcium mobilization contributes to pressure-mediated afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction.
Preglomerular responses to vasoactive agonists utilize calcium released from intracellular stores and activation of calcium influx pathways to elicit vasoconstriction. The current study was performed to determine the role of calcium release from intracellular stores on the afferent arteriolar response to increases in perfusion pressure. Experiments were performed, in vitro, using the blood perf...
متن کاملAbolition of arteriolar dilation but not constriction to histamine in cremaster muscle of eNOS-/- mice.
Histamine increases the permeability of capillaries and venules but little is known of its precapillary actions on the control of tissue perfusion. Using gene ablation and pharmacological interventions, we tested whether histamine could increase muscle blood flow through stimulating nitric oxide (NO) release from microvascular endothelium. Vasomotor responses to topical histamine were investiga...
