Abstract
1. The effects of aminoguanidine on neutrophil adherence to venules and on the diameter of arterioles in the mesenteric vascular bed of the pentobarbitone-anaesthetized rat have been compared with those of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). 2. Administration of L-NAME (1-10 mg kg-1, i.v.) caused a dose-dependent increase in leukocyte adherence and a reduction in leukocyte rolling velocity in postcapillary venules of the rat mesentery over 1 h. 3. Likewise, aminoguanidine (10-100 mg kg-1, i.v.) dose-dependently increased leukocyte adherence and decreased leukocyte rolling velocity over 1 h. 4. Both L-NAME and aminoguanidine caused a dose-dependent reduction in mesenteric arteriolar diameter and an increase in systemic arterial blood pressure. 5. The effects of aminoguanidine (50 mg kg-1, i.v.) on leukocyte adherence, arteriolar diameter and on blood pressure were significantly reversed by pretreatment with L-arginine (300 mg kg-1, i.v.). 6. These findings indicate that, like L-NAME, aminoguanidine can acutely promote leukocyte adherence to the mesenteric venular wall and reduce arteriolar diameter. Moreover, these acute effects were reversed by L-arginine, suggesting they are mediated...Continue Reading
