Experimental diabetes induces hyperreactivity of rabbit renal artery to 5-hydroxytryptamine

Abstract: The influence of diabetes on the response of isolated rabbit renal arteries to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was examined. 5-HT induced a concentration-related contraction that was higher in arteries from diabetic rabbits than in arteries from control rabbits. Endothelium removal did not significantly modify 5-HT contractions in arteries from control rabbits but enhanced the response to 5-HT in arteries from diabetic rabbits. Incubation with N G -nitro-L-arginine (L-NA) enhanced contractions to 5-HT in arteries f… Show more

“…The renal production of thromboxane A 2 and prostacyclin is increased in diabetic rats (Okumura et al, 2000). In contrast, other studies show a decreased formation of vasoconstrictor prostanoid in rat mesenteric arterial bed in response to methoxamine (Makino and Kamata, 1998), rabbit carotid arteries in response to acetylcholine (Miranda et al, 2000a) or 5-hydroxytryptamine (Miranda et al, 2000b), and rabbit renal arteries in response to 5-hydroxytryptamine (Miranda et al, 2002) in diabetes. These data support the specificity of the changes in modulatory mechanisms of the arterial response to endothelin-1 mentioned above, and show that changes in vascular reactivity induced by diabetes may vary depending on the species, vascular bed, and stimuli studied.…”

“…Endothelial thromboxane A 2 modulates the response to endothelin-1 of dog basilar artery (Shirahase et al, 1991), rat hepatic vascular bed (Kurihara et al, 1992), and aorta from hypertensive rats (Taddei and Vanhoutte, 1993). Recently, we have reported that the endothelium modulates the response of the rabbit carotid artery to acetylcholine (Miranda et al, 2000a) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (Miranda et al, 2000b) and that of the rabbit renal artery to 5-hydroxytryptamine (Miranda et al, 2002) by releasing both NO and a vasoconstrictor prostanoid. Because in both indomethacinand furegrelate-treated arteries from diabetic rabbits the EC 50 values were increased with respect to those obtained in the corresponding arteries from control rabbits, it can be deduced that indomethacin and furegrelate were more effective at inhibiting responses in diabetic than in control arteries.…”

“…Whereas previous studies have shown that contractile responses are altered in Type I and Type II diabetes (15,19,25,32,33,35,37,38,42,43,45,48), relatively few studies have examined mechanisms that produce these changes (15,43). Activity of Rho kinase appears to be enhanced under pathophysiological conditions, including subarachnoid hemorrhage and hypertension (5,30).…”

“…[7][8][9] Several reports by our research team [10][11][12] and others 3,[13][14][15] have found that alterations in vasocontraction induced by 5-HT were observed in patients with cardiovascular diseases as well as in those with diabetes. An accumulating body of evidence suggests that 5-HT plays a role in the development of diabetic complications.…”
