Background: Diabetes is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events. Endothelial dysfunction is the main reason cause of disability and death in diabetic patients and death. The present study investigates the effects of metformin and glibenclamide on vasoconstrictive and vasodilative responses in the diabetic rat aorta. Methods: Rats were divided into four experimental groups (con...
Based on preliminary studies that contractile efficacy was altered in vertebral and basilar arteries from neonatal donors treated with postnatal glucocorticoids, we examined the hypothesis that postnatal dexamethasone (DEX), a glucocorticoid used for respiratory disease in neonates, can alter vascular reactivity. Using near-term fetal lamb carotids, we measured 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) dose-r...
Pendrin is a Cl-/HCO3- exchanger expressed in the apical regions of renal intercalated cells. Following pendrin gene ablation, blood pressure falls, in part, from reduced renal NaCl absorption. We asked if pendrin is expressed in vascular tissue and if the lower blood pressure observed in pendrin null mice is accompanied by reduced vascular reactivity. Thus, the contractile responses to KCl and...
The hypothesis that the changes in vascular reactivity seen during pregnancy are determined by the gestational age was examined. Experiments were designed to investigate changes in vascular responses with progression of pregnancy. The contractile responses to potassium and phenylephrine (in the presence and absence of N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) an...
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic shock is associated with changes in vascular responsiveness that may lead to organ dysfunction and, ultimately, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Volatile anesthetics interfere with vasoresponsiveness, which may contribute to organ hypoperfusion. In this study, the authors examined the influence of adjunct nitrous oxide on the vascular responsiveness after short-term h...
Vascular reactivity can be influenced by the vascular region, animal age, and pathologies present. Prostaglandins (produced by COX-1 and COX-2) play an important role in the contractile response to phenylephrine in the abdominal aorta of young rats. Although these COXs are found in many tissues, their distribution and role in vascular reactivity are not clear. At a vascular level, they take par...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors including quinapril could exert a protective effect on cardiovascular system through endothelial system in normoglycemic and diabetic rats. The present experimental work was designed to study the vascular reactivity of aortic ring segments isolated from streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats treated for 4 weeks with nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAM...
We postulated that prolonged exposure to intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV) with high pressure (HIPPV) alone without hyperoxia promotes the development of airway hyperresponsiveness and remodeling. To test this hypothesis, young rats were ventilated under halothane anesthesia with HIPPV (maximum inspiratory pressure at 32-35 cmH2O in 70% nitrous oxide and 30% O2) for 3.5-4 h dail...
