急性低氧和间断低氧习服对大鼠主动脉收缩和舒张功能的影响

目的：观察急性低和间断低氧习服对大鼠主动脉收缩和舒张功能的影响。方法：用去甲肾上腺素（ＮＥ）诱发大鼠离体动脉环的收缩,反映收缩功能的变化,主动脉环以０．６２μｍｏｌ／Ｌ ＮＥ预收缩后用乙酰胆碱（Ａｃｈ）舒张对抗,反映舒张功能的变化。结果：与常氧对照组相比,急性低氧和间断低氧习照大鼠主动脉对去甲肾上腺素（ＮＥ１０＾－９,１０＾０８,１０＾－７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）介导的收缩反应显著增强（Ｐ〈０．０５～０．０１     

EDRF对PE引起的大鼠主动脉缩血管效应的作用

本文研究ＥＤＲＦ（ｅｎｄｏｔｈｅｌｉｕｍ－ｄｅｒｉｖｅｄｒｅｌａｘｉｎｇｆａｃｔｏｒ,ＥＤＲＦ）对ＰＥ（ｐｈｅｎｙｌｅｐｈｒｉｎｅ）引起的大鼠主动脉收缩反应的影响。内皮完整和去内皮的大鼠主动脉环悬挂于器官浴槽中,测定血管的张力和收缩速度的变化。所有的实验在消炎痛（ｉｎｄｏｍｅｔｈａｃｉｎ,１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）存在下进行。用美兰（ｍｅｔｈｙｌｅｎｅｂｌｕｅ,ＭＢ,１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）或左旋硝基精氨酸（ＮＧ－ｎｉｔｒｏ－Ｌ－ａｒｇｉｎｉｎｅ,Ｌ－ＮＮＡ,３０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）处理内皮完整的大鼠主动脉环,ＰＥ的剂量－收缩张力曲线明显左移,ＥＣ３０值均降低５倍,最大反应比率分别为１．６±０．４和１．６±０．５。在去内皮的大鼠主动脉环中,经ＭＢ和Ｌ－ＮＮＡ处理后,仍可见ＥＣ３０下降３倍,最大反应比率均为１．０±０．２。后者可能与血管平滑肌产生少量ＥＤＲＦ有关。我们的结果提示ＰＥ对血管的收缩反应也受血管内皮和平滑肌产生的ＥＤＲＦ的调控     

吡那地尔对老年自发性高血压大鼠心血管作用的特征

本文研究新型抗高血压药ＡＴＰ敏感性钾通道开放剂吡那地尔对１５月龄老年自发性高血压大鼠心血管作用的特征。在离体工作心脏上吡那地尔０．１－１０．０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ对离体工作心脏的心率、心肌舒缩功能、主动脉射量与冠脉流量无显著影响。在离体血管上,以去甲肾上腺素或氯化钾预收缩主动脉环后,观察吡那地尔的舒血管作用,并与硝苯地平作比较,发现吡那地尔对去甲肾上腺素预收缩的血管具有双相作用。吡那地尔１．０－５．０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ时呈舒血管作用,浓度增至１０．０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,先呈缩血管效应,继之呈舒血管效应。而在正常血压大鼠和４月龄年轻自发性高血压大鼠中,主动脉环以去甲肾上腺素预收缩后吡那地尔１．０－１０．０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ仅呈舒血管效应;以氯化钾预收缩后,吡那地尔也仅呈舒血管效应。另一方面,与４月龄自发性高血压大鼠相比,１５月龄自发性高血压大鼠的主动脉环对吡那地尔的舒血管作用的反应减弱,但对硝苯地平的舒血管作用的反应增强。其机理可能与老年高血压大鼠心血管重构、ＡＴＰ敏感性钾通道的变化有关。     

胰岛素对离体大鼠胸主动脉血管张力的影响

制备离体大鼠胸主动脉环,分有内皮组和去内皮组,采用离体血管灌流技术,观察胰岛素对去氧肾上腺素（PE）和氯化钾（KCl）预收缩的胸主动脉环收缩张力的影响。结果表明胰岛素对PE预收缩的胸主动脉环产生浓度依赖性的舒张作用,且有内皮组和去内皮组间无显著差异。胰岛素对KCl预收缩的胸主动脉环没有显著影响。胰岛素对PE预收缩的胸主动脉环有非内皮依赖性舒张作用。     

葡萄籽中原花青素对实验动物主动脉收缩和血小板聚集的影响

目的:研究葡萄籽中原花青素(PA)对大鼠离体主动脉平滑肌收缩活动和兔血小板聚集的影响.方法:采用大鼠离体主动脉环灌流方法,记录主动脉环张力变化,观察PA对去甲肾上腺素(NA)和KCl预收缩大鼠离体主动脉平滑肌收缩反应的舒张作用以及对NA量效曲线的影响.比浊法测定兔血小板聚集.结果:PA能明显抑制NA(10-6mol/L)预收缩大鼠离体主动脉环的反应,使NA量效曲线压低,最大反应降低,此作用无内皮依赖性,但对KCl预收缩主动脉环的舒张作用无明显影响,也不影响花生四烯酸(AA),ADP和胶原(collagen)蛋白诱导的兔血小板聚集.结论:PA能对抗NA而不影响KCl诱导的大鼠离体主动脉平滑肌的收缩,不影响兔血小板聚集.     

NO—样松弛因子对止血带休克大鼠血管舒缩活动的影响

本工作在大鼠止血带休克（ＴｏＳ）模型上观察ＮＯ前体Ｌ－精氨酸Ｌ－Ａｒｇ,ＮＯ合成阻断剂Ｌ－ＮＮＡ及可溶性鸟苷酸环化酶抑制剂亚甲兰（ＭＢ）对离体胸主动脉舒缩活动的影响。发现止血带休克大鼠离体灌流的主动脉对去甲肾上腺素的反应性降低。血管组织ｃＧＭＰ含量增加。Ｌ－Ａｒｇ可增强这一变化,而Ｌ－ＮＮＡ或ＭＢ可减轻上述变化,而且这些药物作用不受血管内皮是否存在的影响。实验结果提示,非内皮细胞源的ＮＯ－样松弛因子（ＮＯ－ＬＲＦ）是引起止血带休克动物血管低反应性的因素之一     

CYP4A抑制剂HET0016对小鼠离体主动脉血管张力的影响

为研究CYP4A抑制剂HET0016对小鼠离体主动脉血管张力的影响,对雄性C57BL/6J小鼠进行脱臼处死后,取主动脉并剪成3~4 mm长的血管环,固定于微血管测定仪的浴槽内,分别用高钾溶液(KCl 60 mmol/L)和去氧肾上腺素(Phe 1μmol/L)进行血管功能性检测,发现二者均能让离体主动脉环产生持续性收缩;然后采用累积给药法观察1μmol/L Phe处理组、60 mmol/L高钾处理组、eNOS抑制剂L-NAME(100μmol/L)和L-钙通道阻滞剂nifedipine(1μmol/L)单独或共同孵育后Phe(1μmol/L)预收缩处理组中不同浓度HET0016对小鼠离体主动脉环张力的影响,并探讨其可能的作用机制。结果发现,高浓度的HET0016可以舒张高钾和Phe预收缩的内皮完整的主动脉环;对于L-NAME单独孵育后Phe预收缩的内皮完整的主动脉环,只有高浓度的HET0016有显著舒张作用;而对于nifedipine单独孵育以及L-NAME和nifedipine共同孵育后Phe预收缩的主动脉环,HET0016的舒张作用呈明显的浓度依赖性。这些结果显示,HET0016这种舒张作用是多通道的,呈部分的内皮依赖性,但也不是主要通过L-电压门控钙通道产生,只有在高浓度的情况下才开始影响L-电压门控钙通道。     

一氧化氮改变肾性高血压大鼠主动脉功能

探讨一氧化氮（ＮＯ）对二肾一夹（２Ｋ１Ｃ）肾性高血压大鼠主动脉功能的影响。实验分为５组：假手术、２Ｋ１Ｃ、卡托普利（ｃａｐｔｏｐｒｉｌ）、ＮＡＭＥ（Ｎω－Ｎｉｔｒｏ－Ｌ－ａｒｇｉｎｉｎｅ ｍｅｔｈｙｌ ｅｓｔｅｒ）和精氨酸组。结果显示：在２Ｋ１Ｃ组,大鼠手术后４周的平均动脉压显著升高,主动脉对４Ｃｈ的舒张反应明显减弱,对苯肾上腺素收缩反应明显增强,主动脉壁环鸟苷酸（ｃＧＭＰ）含量显著减少。卡托谱利     

自发性高血压大鼠主动脉α1B及α1D肾上腺素受体第三细胞内环不存在…

我们以前的实验显示自发性高血压大鼠离体主动脉磷酸肌醇蓄积在无激动剂在的基础状态下就显著增高。根据Ｇ蛋白偶联受体固有活性假说,推测ＳＨＲ主动脉中介导肌醇磷脂解的主要受体－α１Ｄ和α１Ｂ肾上腺素受体的第三细胞内环可能存在点突变。本实验通过ＰＣＲ－ＳＳＣＰ鉴定,表明上述突变并不存在。     

内毒素诱导兔肺动脉平滑肌iNOS生成中NF—κB作用的探讨

目的和方法：实验采用内毒素的主要成分脂多糖（ＬＰＳ）离体孵育去内皮兔肺动脉环方法,观察血管收缩性的改变,并加入诱生型ＮＯ生成抑制剂氨基胍（ＡＧ）以及核转录因子（ＮＦκＢ）的拮抗剂吡咯烷二硫代氨基甲酸盐（ＰＤＴＣ）后观察了血管收缩性的变化。结果：ＬＰＳ孵育１６ｈ后血管环对新福林（ＰＥ）的反应性明显减低（Ｐ＜０．０１）,与ＬＰＳ孵育组比较,ＬＰＳ与ＡＧ共同孵育后血管环反应性增加,ＰＤＴＣ预孵育血管环后再用ＬＰＳ孵育,血管环反应性也较ＬＰＳ孵育的血管环反应明显增加。经ＬＰＳ孵育的血管环用ＮＯ生成抑制剂Ｌ硝基精氨酸（ＬＮＮＡ）处理后,对血管收缩剂ＰＥ的反应性有明显增加,而ＰＤＴＣ预孵育组的血管环用ＬＮＮＡ处理后收缩反应性无明显增加。结论：ＬＰＳ离体孵育去内皮肺动脉后,血管平滑肌ｉＮＯＳ诱生,致使血管反应性降低,而ＮＦκＢ在肺动脉平滑肌ｉＮＯＳ诱生中起信息传递作用。     

Role of superoxide radicals in anoxia reoxygenation-mediated vascular contraction.

To determine the mechanism of anoxic vasoconstriction, precontracted rat aortic rings were exposed to 95% N2, which caused additional contraction. Reoxygenation (95% O2) resulted in initial relaxation followed by contraction. Indomethacin did not affect anoxic contraction or reoxygenation-mediated events, but NG-monomethyl-1-arginine, which inhibits EDRF synthesis, and oxyhemoglobin, which reduces EDRF activity, markedly decreased anoxic contraction and reoxygenation relaxation, and potentiated subsequent contraction. Superoxide dismutase did not affect anoxic contraction, but potentiated reoxygenation relaxation and attenuated subsequent contraction. Endothelin concentrations remained unchanged throughout anoxia and reoxygenation. Thus, anoxic contraction and reoxygenation-mediated early relaxation appear to be due to changes in EDRF. On the other hand, reoxygenation-induced contraction appears related to release of superoxide radicals.     

17β-雌二醇对去卵巢胰岛素抵抗大鼠主动脉舒缩功能损伤的保护作用

为观察17β-雌二醇（17beta-estradiol,17β-E2）对去卵巢胰岛素抵抗（insulin resistance,IR）大鼠主动脉结构和舒缩功能的影响及其可能机制,成年雌性Sprague-Dawley大鼠卵巢切除后,高果糖喂养8周诱导IR,同时给予生理剂量的17β-E2（30μg／kg）,每天皮下注射一次,并检测IR相关指标。大鼠胸主动脉石蜡切片,HE染色,图像分析系统测定其结构。采用血管环灌流法,观察各组大鼠胸主动脉环对新福林（L-phenylephrine,PE）的收缩反应和对ACh、硝普钠（sodium nitroprusside,SNP）的舒张反应以及一氧化氮合酶（nitric oxide synthase,NOS）抑制剂N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲脂（N-nitrl-L-arginine methylester,L-NAME）对卵巢切除＋果糖喂养＋17β-E2组大鼠胸主动脉ACh的舒张反应的影响;检测各组大鼠一氧化氮（nitric oxide,NO）含量。结果显示：（1）17β-E2能防止高果糖诱导的去卵巢IR人鼠收缩压升高、高胰岛素血症和胰岛素敏感性下降;（2）各组火鼠胸主动脉的结构无显著性差异;（3）卵巢切除＋果糖喂养组大鼠与卵巢切除组或果糖喂养组相比,血清NO显著降低,胸主动脉对PE的收缩反应显著增强,对ACh的舒张反应显著降低,17β-E2能逆转上述改变,L-NAME可部分阻断17β-E2的这种作用;（4）各组大鼠胸主动脉对SNP的舒张反应和去内皮后对PE的收缩反应均无显著差异。以上结果表明,17β-E2能抑制高果糖诱导的去卵巢IR大鼠血管舒缩功能的紊乱,其机制一方面可能是部分通过血管内皮细胞NOS途径促进NO的释放,保护内皮细胞;另一方面可能是通过降低血压,血清胰岛素水平,改善IR所致。     

Enhanced AT1 receptor-mediated vasocontractile response to ANG II in endothelium-denuded aorta of obese Zucker rats

In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that ANG II causes a greater vasoconstriction in obese Zucker rats, a model of type 2 diabetes, with mild hypertension. Measurement of isometric tension in isolated aortic rings with intact endothelium revealed a modest but not significantly greater ANG II-induced contraction in obese than lean rats. Removal of endothelium or inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase by N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) enhanced 1) ANG II-induced contraction in both lean and obese rats, being significantly greater in obese rats (E(max) g/g tissue, denuded: lean 572 +/- 40 vs. obese 664 +/- 16; L-NAME: lean 535 +/- 14 vs. obese 818 +/- 23) and 2) ANG II sensitivity in obese compared with lean rats, as revealed by the pD(2) values. Endothelin-1 and KCl elicited similar contractions in the aortic rings of lean and obese rats. ACh, a NO-dependent relaxing hormone, produced greater relaxation in the aortic rings of obese than lean rats, whereas sodium nitroprusside, an NO donor, elicited similar relaxations in both rat strains. The expression of the ANG type 1 (AT(1)) receptor protein and mRNA in the endothelium-intact aorta was significantly greater in obese than lean rats, whereas the endothelium-denuded rings expressed modest but not significantly greater levels of AT(1) receptors in obese than lean rats. The endothelial NO synthase protein and mRNA expression levels were higher in the aorta of obese than lean animals. We conclude that, although ANG II produces greater vasoconstriction in obese rat aortic rings, enhanced endothelial AT(1) receptor-mediated NO production appears to counteract the increased ANG II-induced vasoconstriction, suggesting that arterial AT(1) receptor may not be a contributing factor to hypertension in this model of obesity.     

Vasorelaxant effect of the flavonoid galangin on isolated rat thoracic aorta

Here we investigated the effect of the flavonoid galangin in isolated rat thoracic aortic rings. Galangin (0.1-100 microM) induced relaxation in rings pre-contracted with phenylephrine (PE 1 microM) or with KCl (100 mM) or pre-treated with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 microM), the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (10 microM) and the adenylate cyclase inhibitor, SQ 22,536 (100 microM). In another set of experiments, rat aortic rings were incubated with galangin (1-100 microM) and the contractile responses to PE (0.001-3 microM) or to KCl (60 mM) were evaluated. We also evaluated the effect of galangin (100 microM) on PE (10 microM)-induced contraction in a Ca2+-free medium. Galangin relaxed aortic rings with or without endothelium. Galangin effect was significantly inhibited by L-NAME. Galangin inhibited the contractile response to PE, either in presence or in absence of external calcium, and to KCl. In the end, we also found that galangin caused nitric oxide (NO) release from aortic rings and abolished the increase in [Ca2+]i triggered by PE or KCl in aortic smooth muscle cells, either in presence and in absence of external Ca2+. Our results suggest that galangin reduces the contractility of rat aortic rings through an endothelium-dependent mechanism, involving NO, and also through an endothelium-independent mechanism, inhibiting calcium movements through cell membranes.     

Nitric oxide pathway counteracts enhanced contraction to membrane depolarization in aortic rings of rats on high-sodium diet

Vascular smooth muscle cell contraction and endothelium-dependent relaxation was evaluated in aortic rings isolated from weaned, 5-mo-old Sprague-Dawley rats fed a normal (NS; 0.8% NaCl) or high (HS; 8% NaCl) sodium diet. Arterial pressure was 140 +/- 6 (NS) and 145 +/- 6 mmHg (HS). In endothelium-denuded rings, the response to phenylephrine (PE) was not modified by the sodium diet, while that of depolarizing agent KCl and intracellular calcium releasing agent caffeine increased in the HS group. When endothelium was preserved, PE-evoked contraction was reduced in both NS and HS groups, the contraction being yet lower in the HS group. This effect was partially obliterated by addition of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), independently of the sodium diet. Relaxation to ACh in intact rings and to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and 8-bromoadenosine 3'5' cyclic guanosine monophosphate (8-BrcGMP) in the absence of endothelium was enhanced in rings isolated from HS rats. In addition, the dose-response curve to 8-BrcGMP was shifted to the right in the presence of iberiotoxin, an inhibitor of large conductance, voltage-dependent, and calcium-sensitive potassium channel (BK(Ca)). However, shift was more marked in rings from HS rats. Present results provide evidence that response of vascular smooth muscle cell to nitric oxide/cGMP-related compounds is increased in HS rings and is associated with a greater activation of the repolarizing BK(Ca) channels. Such changes might counterbalance enhanced contractile response to membrane depolarization and thus participate in maintenance of arterial pressure in the present model of early and long-term HS feeding in rats.     

铁对血管收缩活动的影响及其机制

动脉粥样硬化的发生和铁引起的氧化应激密切相关。铁对血管的直接效应及其对血管收缩功能的影响尚不明确。本文采用血管环灌流装置 ,观察铁对离体SD大鼠去内皮胸主动脉环的直接效应 ,及对去内皮主动脉环KCl和苯肾上腺素 (PE)引发的收缩效应的影响。结果显示 :( 1) 10 0 μmol/L枸橼酸铁 (FAC)引起大鼠血管环发生相位性收缩 ,最大收缩幅度可达KCl诱发的最大收缩的 2 4 0 2± 2 3 7%。当 [Ca2 +]o 增加 1倍时 ,铁所致的血管环收缩幅度明显增加 (P <0 0 1)。阻断L 型钙通道后 ,铁所致的血管环收缩幅度明显降低 (P <0 0 1)。在无钙液中 ,用佛波酯收缩血管环 ,待收缩稳定后给予FAC ,此时收缩幅度增加 49 18± 3 75 %。 ( 2 )铁孵育 3 0min后 ,KCl引起血管环收缩的幅度显著降低 (P <0 0 1)。铁孵育可使PE引起的收缩量 -效曲线右移 (P <0 0 5 )。 ( 3 )二甲基亚砜、过氧化氢酶和谷胱甘肽可明显降低铁对PE血管收缩反应的抑制作用 (P <0 0 5 )。从这些结果可得到以下结论 :铁可引起胸主动脉发生相位性收缩 ,其机制可能与L 型钙通道短暂开放导致钙离子内流 ,及平滑肌对钙的敏感性增加有关 ;较长时间与铁孵育后 ,可对血管收缩功能产生损伤 ,氧自由基的生成增加和细胞内GSH的水平降低可能参与铁对收缩功能的     

Effect of melatonin on vascular reactivity in pancreatectomized rats

The present study was undertaken to assess whether the improvement of contractile performance of aortic rings by melatonin described in streptozotocin diabetic rats also occurs in another model of type I diabetes, the pancreatectomized rats. Adult male Wistar rats submitted to a subtotal pancreatectomy and exhibiting altered levels of fasting glucose and an abnormal tolerance glucose test, were used. Sham-operated laparotomized rats were employed as controls. Dose-response curves for acetylcholine-induced, endothelium-related relaxation of aortic rings (after previous exposure to phenylephrine) and for phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction were conducted. This protocol was repeated with rings pre-incubated in a high glucose solution (44 mmol/l). Pancreatectomy decreased significantly acetylcholine-induced relaxation of aortic rings, but not phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction, the effect being amplified by preincubation in high glucose solution. The deleterious effect of a high glucose medium was more pronounced in pancreatectomized rats. Melatonin (10(-5) M) did not modify acetylcholine-induced relaxation in normal glucose concentration but was effective to prevent the impairment of relaxation brought about by exposure to high glucose solution. The contractile response to phenylephrine of aortic rings obtained from pancreatectomized rats was not affected by melatonin. The results further support the improvement by melatonin of endothelial-mediated relaxation in blood vessels of diabetic rats.     

Quercetin, a flavonoid antioxidant, modulates endothelium-derived nitric oxide bioavailability in diabetic rat aortas

The present work examined the effect of chronic oral administration of quercetin, a flavonoid antioxidant, on blood glucose, vascular function and oxidative stress in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were randomized into euglycemic, untreated diabetic, vehicle (1% w/v methylcellulose)-treated diabetic, which served as control, or quercetin (10mgkg(-1) body weight)-treated diabetic groups and treated orally for 6 weeks. Quercetin treatment reduced blood glucose level in diabetic rats. Impaired relaxations to endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine (ACh) and enhanced vasoconstriction responses to alpha(1)-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (PE) in diabetic rat aortic rings were restored to euglycemic levels by quercetin treatment. Pretreatment with N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME, 10microM) or methylene blue (10microM) completely blocked but indomethacin (10microM) did not affect relaxations to ACh in aortic rings from vehicle- or quercetin-treated diabetic rats. PE-induced vasoconstriction with an essentially similar magnitude in vehicle- or quercetin-treated diabetic rat aortic rings pretreated with l-NAME (10microM) plus indomethacin (10microM). Quercetin treatment reduced plasma malonaldehyde (MDA) plus 4-hydroxyalkenals (4-HNE) content as well as increased superoxide dismutase activity and total antioxidant capacity in diabetic rats. From the present study, it can be concluded that quercetin administration to diabetic rats restores vascular function, probably through enhancement in the bioavailability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide coupled to reduced blood glucose level and oxidative stress.     

罗格列酮对胰岛素抵抗高血压大鼠主动脉功能的影响

为探讨罗格列酮(rosiglitazone,ROSI)对胰岛素抵抗高血压大鼠(insulin resistant-hypertensive rats,IRHR)主动脉功能的影响及其可能机制,用高果糖饲养Sprague-Dawley大鼠8周,制备IRHR模型,并通过相关指标的检测判断造模是否成功。随后采用血管环灌流方法,观察各实验组动物离体胸主动脉环对新福林(L-phenylephrine,PE)、氯化钾(KCl)的收缩反应和对乙酰胆碱(acetylcholine,ACh)、硝普钠(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)的舒张反应：以及用一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase,NOS)的抑制剂N-硝基-L-精氨酸甲酯(N^ω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester,L-NAME)预孵育血管30min后,主动脉环对ACh的舒张反应：同时对各实验组血清一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)的含量进行测定。结果显示：(1)罗格列酮能降低IRHR的收缩压、血清胰岛素水平,改善胰岛素抵抗。(2)高果糖组动物主动脉对PE、KCl的收缩反应明显增强,对ACh的舒张反应明显减弱,ROSI可逆转上述作用。(3)用L-NAME预处理后,高果糖组动物主动脉对ACh的舒张反应进一步减弱,ROSI可部分对抗上述作用。(4)各组大鼠离体主动脉对SNP的舒张反应无显著性差异。(5)ROSI对对照组大鼠主动脉功能的影响不明显。(6)与对照组相比,高果糖组动物血清NO含量显著降低,用ROSI处理后,血清NO含量显著增加。上述结果表明,ROSI能改善IRHR主动脉的舒张功能,其作用的机制可能是部分通过NOS途径促进内皮NO释放,或是通过降低血压、血清胰岛素水平,以及改善胰岛素抵抗等作用,导致血管舒张。     

褪黑素改善内毒素血症大鼠血管反应性

观察褪黑素(melatonin,MT)对脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)诱导的体循环和肺循环血管反应性失调的影响,并探讨可能的作用机制。实验分为溶剂对照组、LPS组、LPS+MT组和MT组。制备离体胸主动脉环和肺动脉环,应用血管张力检测技术检测各组血管环对苯肾上腺素(phenylephrine,PE)和乙酰胆碱(acetylcholine,ACh)的反应性并绘制累积剂量反应曲线;制备各组血管组织匀浆,测定丙二醛(malondialhyde,MDA)和超氧化物歧化酶(superoxidedismutes,SOD)含量变化。结果显示:与对照组相比,LPS6h后胸主动脉对PE的收缩反应减弱(P<0.01),对PE(1×10–8~1×10–5mol/L)累积剂量反应曲线下移;而肺动脉对ACh的舒张反应显著下降(P<0.01),对ACh(1×10–8~1×10–5mol/L)累积剂量反应曲线下移。加用MT可显著改善LPS诱导的胸主动脉对缩血管剂PE的低反应性,同时可逆转LPS对肺动脉舒张反应的抑制,LPS+MT组胸主动脉对PE的累积剂量反应曲线和肺动脉对ACh的累积剂量反应曲线位于对照组和LPS组之间;MT还可对抗LPS导致的脂质过氧化,使MDA含量减少,提高抗氧化酶SOD的活性。上述结果提示,MT可改善内毒素血症大鼠的血管反应性失调,抗氧化途径可能是其发挥保护作用的机制之一。
