Effect of ATP-Dependent K Channel Openers and Blockers on Serum Concentration of Aldosterone in Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are many reports for involvement of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic, cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells. This study examined the effect of single doses of K channel openers; diazoxide, minoxidil and K channel blockers; chlorpropamide, glibenclamide on serum concentration of aldosterone in male rats. Blood samples were obtained 60 minutes after drug treatment and serum aldosterone level was determined by RIA. The basal serum aldosterone was 659.32 ± 71.48 pg/ml and after diazoxide or minoxidil administration increased to 1188.53 ± 99.45 pg/ml and 1392.69 ± 177.83 pg/ml, respectively. Chlorpropamide or glibenclamide treatment did not produce any change in basal serum aldosterone concentration, but in early streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats decreased serum aldosterone level significantly (P<0.001). Pretreatment with glibenclamide blocked aldosterone response to diazoxide but did not affect aldosterone response to exogenous ACTH to the same extent. Effect of diazoxide in insulin-treated rats was approximately similar to that of normal rats. Comparison of blood glucose concentration determined in normal, insulin treated and diabetic rats after different drug administration showed that there is no correlation between blood glucose level and the responses observed in serum hormone concentration. The results indicate that regulatory processes involved in the secretion of aldosterone are responsive to drugs affecting glibenclamide–sensitive K channels. Iran. Biomed. J. 6 (2 & 3): 63-67, 2002

متن کاملThe vasodilatory action of telmisartan on isolated mesenteric artery rings from rats
Objective(s): Angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) represent one of the widely used antihypertensive agents. In addition to anti-hypertension effect, some ARBs also show other molecular effects such as activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ and so on. Here we studied the effects of telmisartan on the rat isolated mesenteric artery rings pre-contracted by phenylephrine ...

Background: It is generally accepted that the selective adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium channel openers (KATP openers) have a dramatic role in the treatment of some cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of diazoxide, a potent ATP-related potassium channel opener, on spontaneously beating isolated rat atria to achieve more accurate approaches t...
متن کاملRole of the potassium channels in vasorelaxant effect of asafoetida essential oil
Objective: In a previous work, we showed that asafoetida essential oil (AEO), from oleo-gum resin of Ferula asafoetida L. from the Apiaceae family, has a vasodilatory effect. This effect was both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent. The present study was designed to determine whether potassium channels and intracellular calcium release contribute to AEO-i...

ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel openers have a relaxation effect due to the lower cellular membrane potential and inhibit calcium influx. There has been considerable interest in exploring KATP channel openers in the treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urinary system disease and premature labor. The purpose of this study was to synthesize 3,3,6,6-tet...
