Flow activates an endothelial potassium channel to release an endogenous nitrovasodilator.

Only registered users can translate articles

Flow-mediated vasodilation is endothelium dependent. We hypothesized that flow activates a potassium channel on the endothelium, and that activation of this channel leads to the release of the endogenous nitrovasodilator, nitric oxide. To test this hypothesis, rabbit iliac arteries were perfused at

Importance of magnesium and potassium concentration on basal tone and 5-HT-induced contractions in canine isolated coronary artery.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. In vitro studies were undertaken to investigate the effects of external potassium ([K+]o) and magnesium ([Mg2+]o) concentration on canine coronary arterial basal tone and on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced contractions. 2. Acute withdrawal of, or reduction in, [K+]o produced relaxation of

[Effects of nicorandil, a potassium agonist, on the human umbilical artery. Role of the vascular endothelium].

Only registered users can translate articles

The umbilical arteries play an important role in the foetal circulation. These vessels, which have no sympathetic tone, are a valuable model for the study of a direct pharmacological effect on vascular smooth muscle. The aims of this study were to determine if the potassium-channel reopener,

Contractions induced by potassium-free solution and potassium relaxation in vascular smooth muscle of hypertensive and normotensive rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. Vascular contractions induced by K(+)-free solution and relaxation responses following the return of K+ to the organ bath were studied in mesenteric arterial rings from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) with particular focus on the role of vascular

Impairment of vascular endothelial function by high-potassium storage solutions.

Only registered users can translate articles

High-potassium cold storage solutions are currently used to preserve myocardial function during heart transplantation. However, the effects of high potassium concentration on vascular endothelial function are not well known. We therefore tested vascular rings for endothelial-dependent and

Aqueous Fraction from Hibiscus sabdariffa Relaxes Mesenteric Arteries of Normotensive and Hypertensive Rats through Calcium Current Reduction and Possibly Potassium Channels Modulation

Only registered users can translate articles

Background/objectives: Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (H. sabdariffa (HS)) extract has a vascular relaxant effect on isolated rat thoracic aorta, but data on small resistance arteries, which play an important role on

Potassium channel modulation: a new drug principle for regulation of smooth muscle contractility. Studies on isolated airways and arteries.

Only registered users can translate articles

K+ channels play a key role in regulation of membrane potential and cell excitability. Several different types of K+ channels have been identified and the presence, characteristics and functions of these channels vary among different tissues. The 3 most important K+ channels in smooth muscle are the

N-acetylcysteine-induced vasodilation involves voltage-gated potassium channels in rat aorta.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has a protective effect against vascular dysfunction by decreasing the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in experimental and human hypertension. This study was designed to examine whether NAC would relax vascular rings in vitro via nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine

Endothelial modulation of the coronary vasculature in vessels perfused via mature collaterals.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous in vivo studies have shown that vasopressin, which releases the endothelium-derived relaxing factor and constricts coronary smooth muscle, produces augmented constriction of coronary microvessels perfused by mature collaterals. We hypothesized that chronic perfusion through collaterals

Novel angiotensin II AT(1) receptor antagonist irbesartan prevents thromboxane A(2)-induced vasoconstriction in canine coronary arteries and human platelet aggregation.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study was conducted to investigate whether the novel orally active nonpeptide angiotensin II (Ang II) AT(1) receptor antagonist irbesartan interacts with the thromboxane A(2)/prostaglandin endoperoxide H(2) (TxA(2)/PGH(2)) receptor in canine coronary arteries and human platelets. Coronary

Propofol Relaxes Isolated Rat Aorta through BKCa Activation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic that can be used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia. In the present study, it was aimed to investigate the mechanism of vasodilator action of propofol in the rat aorta (RA).

METHODS

The RA rings were

Loss of endothelium-mediated vascular relaxation as a response to various clamping pressures.

Only registered users can translate articles

The contraction/relaxation responses of thoracic aortal rings clamped with two clamping pressures to potassium chloride (KC1), noradrenaline and carbachol were studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to ascertain endothelial lacerations. Clamp A had the tip pressure PA = 0.60 N/mm2 and

Comparison of the in vitro effects of prazosin, nifedipine, and dihydralazine in isolated human mesenteric and crural vessels.

Only registered users can translate articles

The inhibitory and relaxing effects of prazosin, nifedipine, and dihydralazine on contractions induced by noradrenaline (NA), or potassium (K+), were investigated in isolated human crural and mesenteric arteries and veins. Vascular ring preparations were suspended in organ baths and isometric

Cholesterol, but not cigarette smoke, decreases rabbit carotid artery relaxation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study was to determine the physiologic effects of cigarette smoke exposure and dietary cholesterol on the availability of nitric oxide in carotid vascular rings. New Zealand white rabbits were placed in an airflow chamber for 3 hr/day over an 8-week period and were exposed to

Cultured dog aortic endothelial cells release vasodilatory products in response to acetylcholine and adenosine.

Only registered users can translate articles

We tested the hypothesis that products released from contracting skeletal muscle could induce the release of vasodilatory products from vascular endothelium. Superfused endothelium-denuded rabbit aortic and dog femoral artery rings contracted with 1 microM phenylephrine delivered at 1-2 mL/min were
