The effect of ischaemia on endothelium‐dependent vasodilatation and adrenoceptor‐mediated vasoconstriction in rat isolated hearts

Abstract: 1 The aim of this study was to investigate whether global ischaemia and reperfusion in rat isolated hearts affects endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and adrenoceptor-mediated vasoconstriction. In addition, it was first determined whether inhibition of the actions of nitric oxide (NO) influenced the responses to a-adrenoceptor agonists in the rat coronary vasculature.2 In rat isolated, Langendorff perfused hearts, inhibition of NO with haemoglobin (Hb, 6 gM) significantly inhibited the vasodilator responses … Show more

“…Data verify selective endothelial dysfunction following I/R in a blood-cell free model, confirming the importance of neutrophil-independent processes in vascular injury (Tsao and Lefer, 1990;Pannangpetch and Woodman, 1996;Baxter, 2002;Flood et al, 2002). Importantly, findings reveal exogenous A 3 AR and endogenous A 1 AR activation significantly limit this vascular dysfunction, with protection impacting on the functional status of the coronary vascular (improving intrinsic hyperemic responses).…”

“…Ischemia -reperfusion in the presence of blood leads to generalized loss of vasodilator reserve together with impaired basal flow (no reflow), and likely involves leukocyte-dependent oxidative injury and vascular plugging (Mehta et al, 1989;Jordan et al, 1999;Woodman, 1999;Kurzelewski et al, 2002). However, the individual role/importance of neutrophils has been challenged in recent years (Baxter, 2002), and it is clear that selective coronary endothelial dysfunction also occurs independently of blood cells via poorly defined processes (Tsao and Lefer, 1990;Pannangpetch and Woodman, 1996;Baxter, 2002;Flood et al, 2002). We have focussed on the endothelial component of injury, crucial to cardiovascular outcomes and cardiovascular risk (Granger, 1999;Schachinger et al, 2000), employing a blood-free model of the intact coronary vasculature.…”

“…38 -41 Reduced responses to endothelium-dependent dilators, including thrombin, 38 acetylcholine, 42 and serotonin, 43 have been demonstrated following I/R injury. Unlike these ischemia-sensitive vasodilators, we demonstrate that PAR2 responses are resistant to I/R injury, and this may be the property on which the protection afforded by SLIGRL in I/R injury is dependent.…”
