The responses of basilar arteries (BAs) to serotonin were attenuated by high \(P_{CO_2 } \) (86±1 mm Hg) and the pH matched acidotic solution ( \(P_{CO_2 } \) 37±1 mm Hg), whereas the responses of middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) were not. High \(P_{CO_2 } \) decreased the basal tone of both arteries, and the changes in basal tone due to high \(P_{CO_2 } \) were not influenced by 3×10?7 M imipramine, 10?5 M pargyline or 10?4 M aspirin. The responses of BAs to serotonin were attenuated by high \(P_{CO_2 } \) in the presence of imipramine, pargyline and aspirin. The responses of MCAs to serotonin were not influenced by high \(P_{CO_2 } \) in the presence of pargyline and aspirin, but attenuated by high \(P_{CO_2 } \) in the presence of imipramine.  相似文献

The effects of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on the renal vasculature of isolated kidneys from control, hyper- and hypothyroid rats were characterized. ATP responsiveness was evaluated in basal tone and in raised tone (phenylephrine 10–6 M) preparations. These responses were compared with those obtained with barium chloride or sodium nitroprusside (SNP), used respectively as nonreceptor agonists for vasoconstriction or vasodilation. In preparations at basal tone, ATP produced dose-related vasoconstriction, which was increased in hyperthyroid kidneys, and was severely attenuated in kidneys from hypothyroid rats. In raised tone preparations from control rats ATP produced a dual response: vasoconstriction at low doses, which declined with increasing doses to give way to vasodilator responses; biphasic responses were found in some kidneys. Hyperthroid kidneys showed increased pressor responses and a vasodilator response similar to those seen in kidneys from control rats. However, in hypothyroid kidneys the vasodilator response was abolished. The responses to barium chloride and to SNP were significantly increased and decreased in hyper- and hypothyroid kidneys, respectively; vasoconstrictor responses to SNP were also found in hypothyroid kidneys. Hence the abnormal responses to ATP observed in both thyroid dysfunctions may be partially explained by unspecific alterations in the contractile machinery of the renal vasculature in these kidneys. However, ATP responsiveness (vasoconstriction at low tone and vasodilation at raised tone) was more severely affected in hypothyroid kidneys, suggesting that purinergic (P2X and P2Y) receptor activity may be decreased in these organs.  相似文献

The influence of some noradrenergic, 5-hydroxytryptaminergic and cholinergic agents on imipramine-induced seizures were investigated in mice. DL-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine (DOPS) and pargyline significantly potentiated imipramine-induced seizures. Phentolamine and prazosin significantly attenuated seizures elicited by imipramine and significantly attenuated the seizure-enhancing effect of DOPS. -Methyl-p-tyrosine and reserpine significantly attenuated seizures induced by imipramine. Disulfiram significantly protected mice against imipramine-induced seizures. However, DOPS significantly potentiated seizures induced by imipramine in disulfiram-pretreated animals. Clonidine effectively protected mice against imipramine-induced seizures. Idazoxan, on the other hand, significantly protentiatied seizures induced by imipramine and significantly antagonised the protective effect of clonidine against the seizures. 5-HTP, PCPA, cyproheptadine, mianserin, ketanserin and trazodone did not affect imipramine-induced seizures to any significant extent. Physostigmine antagonised seizures induced by imipramine while atropine significantly potentiated the seizures, and significantly attenuated the protective effect of physostigmine against the seizures. These data suggest that enhancement and attenuation of central noradrenergic and cholinergic neurotransmissions respectively, and not 5-HT mechanisms, may underlie imipramine-induced seizures in mice.  相似文献

The inhibitory effects of pargyline and quipazine on chicken growth hormone secretion were overcome by passive immunoneutralization of endogenous somatostatin (SRIF)-14 or SRIF-28(1-14)-like immunoreactivity. Administration of the specific antisera to control birds pretreated with 0.9% NaCl elevated the basal plasma GH concentrations. These results suggest that peptides with SRIF-14 or SRIF-28(1-14)-like immunoreactivity tonically inhibit GH secretion and are at least partially responsible for the inhibitory effects of pargyline and quipazine on GH release in immature domestic fowl.  相似文献

Summary The effect of apomorphine was studied in isolated perfused rabbit arteries contracted by high potassium concentrations. The influence of methysergide suggests that apomorphine responses in central ear arteries, but not in middle cerebral arteries, are partially mediated by serotonin receptors.  相似文献

Summary Na arachidonate (NaA) enhanced the resting basal tone of isolated coronary arteries from diabetic dogs and depressed it in coronary arteries from normal controls. Inhibitors of thromboxane A2 biosynthesis and of lipoxygenases abolished the vasoconstrictor effect of NaA on diabetic arteries, whereas inhibitors of cyclooxygenase activity and PGI2 biosynthesis blocked the vasodilating action of NaA on normal arteries.This work has been supported by grant 6638 from CONICET (Argentina).  相似文献

The Haldane coefficient (the amount of the oxygen-linked hydrogen ion binding of hemoglobin) was determined in bovine erythrolysate (Hb concentration equals 13.5 mM) by means of the differential titration method with varying PCO2 from 0 to 74 mm Hg and pH from 6.0 to 8.5 at 37 degrees C. The maximum value of the coefficient was found to be 0.49 mM per mM Hb at PCO2 equals 0 and pH 7.20. With increasing of PCO2, the coefficient became smaller in all ranges of pH studied. The coefficient under the conditions of pH 7.20 and PCO2 equals 45 mm Hg that are normally prevailing in the interior of bovine erythrocytes was 0.31.  相似文献

Rat peritoneal mast cells were isolated and purified by differential centrifugation in Ficoll. Cells pooled from three to four rats were suspended at approximately 10(6) cells/ml in a buffered salt solution and incubated for 1 h at 37 degrees C in 300 microliter volumes in the absence or presence (9 X 10(-4) M) of calcium chloride. Addition of D-galactosamine hydrochloride (DGM; 2.8 X 10(-4)M) caused (in addition to basal release) a mean +/- SEM percent histamine release of 15.7 +/- 5.2 in the presence of Ca++ and 19 +/- 4.9 in the absence of Ca++ (p greater than 0.05). It is suggested that D-galactosamine does not require extracellular Ca++ for the release of histamine from the rat mast cell.  相似文献

To investigate the roles of adenosine A1 and A2 receptors in the regulation of aldosterone production, we examined the effects of adenosine and adenosine agonists (N6-cyclohexyl adenosine; selective adenosine A1 receptor agonist and 5'-N-ethylcarboxamine adenosine; selective adenosine A2 receptor agonist) on aldosterone and cyclic AMP production in rat adrenal capsular cells. Neither adenosine nor 5'-N-ethylcarboxamine adenosine caused significant effects on basal aldosterone or cyclic AMP production. Also, adenosine (10(-3) M) showed no consistent effects on aldosterone and cyclic AMP production induced by ACTH. On the other hand, N6-cyclohexyl adenosine exhibited a significant inhibition of basal aldosterone and cyclic AMP production at doses of 10(-4) M and 10(-3) M; furthermore, 10(-3) M N6-cyclohexyl adenosine inhibited aldosterone and cyclic AMP production stimulated by ACTH. These results suggest that adenosine A1 receptors are coupled to and inhibit adenylate cyclase and may be involved in the inhibition of aldosterone production.  相似文献

Nonsteroidal antiestrogens reversibly and specifically inhibited the proliferation of two estrogen receptor-negative lymphoid cell lines (EL4 and Raji) in a dose-dependent manner. [3H]Thymidine incorporation of concanavalin A-stimulated primary splenocytes was also inhibited by 10(-6) M clomiphene (1-[4-(2-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenyl-2-chloroethylene). The antiproliferative effect could be prevented by the simultaneous presence in the growth medium of 10(-5) M linoleic acid or 10(-5) M arachidonic acid but not by 10(-6) M estradiol. Both lymphoid cell lines had high affinity antiestrogen-binding sites whose affinity could be altered by conditions of growth. Growth of EL4 cells in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with charcoal-pretreated 5% fetal calf serum (charcoal-stripped medium) resulted in significantly higher affinity (Kd 0.54 nM +/- 0.11 nM; n = 6) than growth in medium supplemented with untreated serum (complete medium) (Kd = 1.68 nM +/- 0.48 nM; n = 6) (p less than 0.001). This change in affinity was partly due to removal of fatty acids from the growth medium by charcoal pretreatment, since addition of 10(-5) M linoleic acid or 10(-5) M gamma-linolenic to charcoal-stripped medium decreased the affinity of the antiestrogen-binding protein. In contrast, growth in 10(-5) M stearic acid or 10(-5) M oleic acid did not significantly alter the affinity of the antiestrogen-binding protein, whereas 10(-5) M palmitic acid significantly increased its affinity. The same fatty acids were also tested for their intrinsic effects on EL4 cell proliferation. Oleic, linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids were growth stimulatory while stearic and palmitic acids were not. Thus linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids whose presence in the growth medium was associated with decreased affinity of [3H]tamoxifen (1-[4-(2-dimethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenylbut-1(Z)-ene) binding to the intracellular antiestrogen-binding protein were also growth stimulatory. Unsaturated fatty acids have previously been shown to inhibit binding of [3H]tamoxifen to the antiestrogen-binding protein in a cell-free system. The present observations demonstrate that unsaturated fatty acids also modify the affinity of the antiestrogen-binding protein in intact cells.  相似文献

The incorporation of leucine-14C into protein in bovine mesenteric arteries was augmented by cyclic GMP (10-3 M) and decreased by cyclic AMP (10-3 M). There was no effect of 5'AMP (10-3 M). The phosphodiesterase inhibiting drugs theophylline (10-3 M) and papaverine (5 x 10-5 g/ml) both decreased the leucine-14C incorporation.  相似文献

Summary Profound hypothermia (6°C) was induced in cold exposed golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) by a combination of drugs that potentiate brain serotonergic activity (fluoxetine and pargyline) and inhibit noradrenergic activity (alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine). Individual drugs and combinations of 2 were ineffective.Acknowledgements.

Summary Nonsteroidal antiestrogens reversibly and specifically inhibited the proliferation of two estrogen receptornegative lymphoid cell lines (EL4 and Raji) in a dose-dependent manner. [3H]Thymidine incorporation of concanavalin A-stimulated primary splenocytes was also inhibited by 10–6 M clomiphene (1-[4-(2-diethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-1,2-diphenyl-2-chloroethylene).

S-Adenosylhomocysteine (10(-7)-10(-5) M) activated norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5HT) in vitro uptake in synaptosomal preparations from rat brain, but did not affect dopamine (DA) uptake. When administered to rats (7 mg/kg i.p.), it has the same effect on in vitro NE and 5HT uptake. It did not affect NE and 5HT release.  相似文献

Extraneuronal serotonin accumulation in peripheral arteries of the rat   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Accumulations of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) were compared in control and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) pretreated rat aorta, mesenteric and tail arteries. The distribution of these amines was corrected by subtracting tissue uptake of tritiated sorbitol in the extracellular space. 5-HT greatly accumulated both in control and 6-OHDA pretreated arteries. In contrast, NE accumulation in mesenteric and tail arteries was substantially decreased after 6-OHDA treatment. In the aorta 6-OHDA pretreatment did not affect the accumulation of both amines. These findings suggest that 5-HT accumulation in these arteries is mainly extraneuronal, and NE mainly neuronal. Since the accumulation of 5-HT in the aorta was not influenced by pretreatment with 10 microM NE, the extraneuronal uptake mechanisms for 5-HT and NE appear to be different.  相似文献

Use of enkephalinase inhibitor phosphoramidon in the in vitro radiochemical assay for juvenile hormone biosynthesis enhanced allatostatin-mediated inhibition of hormone production by corpora allata of the cockroach, Diploptera punctata. Significant increases in inhibition in day 2 virgin female CA by AST 1 (at 10(-7) M) and AST 4 (10(-8)-10(-7) M) were observed in the presence of phosphoramidon (10(-5) M or greater). No significant increase in inhibition were seen in CA from day 6 mated females with AST 4 (10(-9)-10(-7) M) and phosphoramidon combined. Phosphoramidon alone had no effect on JH biosynthesis. Analysis of allatostatin content of the CA, as determined by ELISA, revealed that addition of phosphoramidon to the medium increased the endogenous allatostatin content in CA of virgin and mated females. The similarity in primary structure between allatostatins and enkephalin-like peptides and their similar distribution makes it probable that phosphoramidon acts by preventing breakdown of allatostatins within the CA.  相似文献

Stimulation of the peripheral end of the right splanchnic nerve (4 Hz for 10 min) in the presence of hexamethonium caused a small but significant rise in mean aortic blood pressure which was subsequently abolished by atropine. There were also small but significant increases in the outputs of catecholamines, [Met5]-enkephalins and corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) from the right adrenal gland. The catecholamine response was roughly halved after atropine while the outputs of enkephalins and CRF were unaffected. It is concluded that splanchnic sympathetic postganglionic neurones supplying the vasculature are completely blocked by cholinergic blockade whereas adrenal medullary responses persist in an attenuated form.  相似文献

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) stimulates spawning in the zebra mussel (Dressena polymorpha), a macrofouling European bivalve that has recently invaded North America. To develop methods of controlling zebra mussel spawning, two vertebrate serotonin antagonists, methiothepin and metergoline, known to bind with high affinity to snail 5-HT receptors, were tested for their ability to block 5-HT-induced spawning in zebra mussels. Methiothepin inhibited 5-HT-induced spawning at concentrations as low as 10–6 M. Metergoline (10–4 M) inhibited 5-HT-induced spawning; however, at lower concentrations (10–8 to 10–5 M), metergoline by itself significantly induced spawning in male, but not female zebra mussels. Metergoline (10–5 M)-induced male spawning was inhibited by 10–5 M methiothepin. Thus, methiothepin is the most effective inhibitor and metergoline the most powerful inducer of spawning yet tested in zebra mussels.  相似文献

Added to a striatal synaptosomal homogenate of rat brain, CDP-choline 10(-4) M inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5 HT) in a competitive fashion and enhances the uptake of tyrosine and tryptophan; administered to animals, CDP-choline (50 mg/kg/l h/i.v.) inhibits only the in vitro uptake of DA but enhances the uptake of precursors.  相似文献
