Abstract:
The effect of acute increases in cardiac contractility on cerebral blood flow (CBF) remains unknown. We hypothesized that the external carotid artery (ECA) downstream vasculature modifies the direct influence of acute increases in heart rate and cardiac function on CBF regulation. Twelve healthy subjects received two infusions of dobutamine [first a low dose (5 μg·kg−1·min−1) and then a high dose (15 μg·kg−1·min−1)] for 12 min each. Cardiac output, blood flow through the internal carotid artery (ICA) and ECA, and echocardiographic measurements were performed during dobutamine infusions. Despit

Objective: The SMIT1 (sodium:myo-inositol transporter 1) regulates myo-inositol movement into cells and responses to hypertonic stimuli. Alteration of myo-inositol levels has been associated with several diseases, including hypertension, but there is no evidence of a functional role of SMIT1 in the vasculature. Recent evidence showed that in the nervous system SMIT1 interacted and modulated the function of members of the Kv7 family of voltage-gated potassium channels, which are also expressed in the vasculature where they regulate arterial contractility. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated

The functional and structural adaptations in cerebral arteries could be one of the fundamental causes in the occurrence of orthostatic intolerance after space flight.

However, it remains unknown whether microgravity disrupts the diurnal variation in vascular contractility and whether microgravity impacts on circadian clock system. Sprague-Dawley rats were subje

Female sex confers improved endothelial relaxation and vascular constriction responses in female Balb/C mice compared with males under baseline conditions.

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism ablates sodium restriction-induced endothelial dysfunction, but not increased vascular contractility, in female mice.

The reduction in coronary flow resulted in a decrease in regional contractility as determined by isometric strain gauge arches. The decrease in regional contractility was transiently reversed by bolus injection of adenosine into the perfusion line. This suggests that the reduction of blood flow due to vasopressin was causing ischemia. Evidence for ische

Abstract:
Rapamycin, an inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, has been shown to extend the life span of mice, and oxidative stress plays critical roles in vascular aging involving loss of compliance of arteries. We examined, therefore, whether rapamycin has protective effects on the inhibition of vascular contractility by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Prolonged (3 h) exposure to H2O2 induced complete loss of contraction of mouse aortic rings and mesenteric (resistance) arteries to either KCl or phenylephrine, which was attenuated by pretreatment with rapamycin. H2O2-induced loss of

Abstract:
The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) is a strain with high incidence of cerebrovascular accidents increased by salt-rich diet and decreased by calcium-antagonist treatment. In the SHRSP rat basilar artery the authors have previously shown reduced contractility and altered structure including regions of smooth muscle cell (SMC) disorganization, The aims of this study have been to analyze (I) the morphology of these abnormal regions, (2) the structural modifications responsible for the reduced function, and (3) the effect of salt and calcium-antagonist treatment on vascular st

Abstract:
Pulmonary mechanical and vascular responses were studied in Sprague–Dawley rats exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO, 100% O2 at 2.8 atm (1 atm = 101.325 kPa) for 6 h). Two groups of animals were examined after HBO exposure: group HBO comprised rats examined immediately after exposure and group R consisted of rats left recovering while breathing air for 24 h before being studied. Both groups were compared with control rats, group C, not exposed to HBO. Pulmonary mechanical responses were measured by quantitating static lung compliance (Cs), wet to dry weight ratio (W/D) of lung tissue, and surfac

Abstract:
Mistletoe (Viscum album L., VA) lectins (MLs) are plant lectins with potent anticancer activity. Although wide use of VA extracts in curing cancer, the effects of purified MLs on human vasculature in term of possible side effect of the lectin has not yet been reported. The present study was aimed to investigate isometric contractions of isolated human mesenteric arteries during MLs application. The contractile response of arteries was studied using Mulvany-Halpern myograph and the isometric contractions under MLs’ treatment were examined in artery segments with either intact endothelium or aft

Abstract:
1. Using a Mulvany-Halpern myograph to measure changes in isometric tension, we have investigated the effect of ouabain on noradrenaline-induced contraction of human subcutaneous resistance arteries. 2. Low concentrations of ouabain (10 nmol/l or less) were shown not to alter vascular smooth muscle contractility or sensitivity to noradrenaline. 3. In contrast, higher concentrations of ouabain (100 nmol/l or more) were found to depress vascular smooth muscle contractility and to reduce the sensitivity of the noradrenaline concentration-response relationship. 4. These findings may have implicati

Abstract:
MicroRNAs have emerged as regulators of smooth muscle cell phenotype with a role in smooth muscle-related disease. Studies have shown that miR-143 and miR-145 are the most highly expressed microRNAs in smooth muscle cells, controlling differentiation and function. The effect of miR-143/145 knockout has been established in the vasculature but not in smooth muscle from other organs. Using knockout mice we found that maximal contraction induced by either depolarization or phosphatase inhibition was reduced in vascular and airway smooth muscle but maintained in the urinary bladder.
