heptanol/脳卒中

Alterations in electrical conductivity between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) can alter the spread and effectiveness of electromechanical SMC contraction. We attempted to determine whether alterations in pressure-dependent constriction (PDC) occurring in relation to stroke development within the middle

This study tests the hypothesis that contractile responses in aortae of hypertensive rats are more dependent on gap junctional communication compared to those from normotensive rats. The experimental approach was pharmacological, using inhibitors of gap junctional activity (heptanol and octanol).

OBJECTIVE To test the hypotheses that vascular supersensitivity correlates with the appearance of contractile oscillations; vascular oscillations are mediated by gap junctions; and gap junctional communication is altered in the vasculature in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHRSP) compared
