Estrogen increases endothelial nitric oxide synthase via estrogen receptors in rat cerebral blood vessels: effect preserved after concurrent treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate or progesterone.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In vivo and in vitro rat models of hormone therapy were used to test the following hypotheses: (1) estrogen acts directly on cerebrovascular estrogen receptors to increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS); (2) increased protein correlates with higher NOS activity; and (3) effects of estrogen on eNOS are altered by concurrent treatment with either medroxyprogestero...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor activation of phosphoinositide-3 kinase, akt, and nitric oxide signaling in cerebral blood vessels: rapid and long-term effects.
Estrogen receptor regulation of nitric oxide production by vascular endothelium may involve rapid, membrane-initiated signaling pathways in addition to classic genomic mechanisms. In this study, we demonstrate using intact cerebral blood vessels that 17beta-estradiol rapidly activates endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) via a phosphoinositide-3 (PI-3) kinase-dependent pathway. The effect i...
متن کاملEstrogen and progestagens differentially modulate vascular proinflammatory factors.
The potential benefit of ovarian hormone replacement therapy in cerebrovascular disease is well supported by experimental observations but not by recent large, randomized clinical trials. This discrepancy points out the need for better understanding of the vascular actions of ovarian hormones as well as medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a synthetic analog of progesterone (P) widely prescribed ...
متن کاملEffect of estrogen on cerebrovascular prostaglandins is amplified in mice with dysfunctional NOS.
Chronic estrogen treatment increases endothelial vasodilator function in cerebral arteries. Endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) is a primary target of the hormone, but other endothelial factors may be modulated as well. In light of possible interactions between NO and prostaglandins, we tested the hypothesis that estrogen treatment increases prostanoid-mediated dilation using NOS-defi...
متن کاملProgesterone increases nitric oxide synthesis in human vascular endothelial cells through activation of membrane progesterone receptor-α.
Progesterone exerts beneficial effects on the human cardiovascular system by inducing rapid increases in nitric oxide (NO) production in vascular endothelial cells, but the receptors mediating these nongenomic progesterone actions remain unclear. Using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as a model, we show that progesterone binds to plasma membranes of HUVECs with the characteristi...
