Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated as a modulator of the vascular effects of angiotensin II (ANG II) in the kidney. We used a NO-sensitive microelectrode to study the effect of ANG II on NO release, and to determine the effect of selective inhibition of the ANG II subtype I receptor (AT1) with losartan (LOS) and candesartan (CAN). NO release from isolated and perfused renal resistance arteries was measured with a porphyrin-electroplated, carbon fiber. The vessels were microdissected from isolated perfused rat kidneys and perfused at constant flow and pressure in vitro. The NO-electrode was placed inside the glass collection cannula to measure vessel effluent NO concentration. ANG II stimulated NO release in a dose-dependent fashion: 0.1 nM, 10 nM and 1000 nM ANG II increased NO-oxidation current by 85+/-18 pA (n = 11), 148+/-22 pA (n = 11), and 193+/-29 pA (n = 11), respectively. These currents correspond to changes in effluent NO concentration of 3.4+/-0.5 nM, 6.1+/-1.1 nM, and 8.2+/-1.3 nM, respectively. Neither LOS (1 muM) nor CAN (1 nM) significantly affected basal NO production, but both AT1-receptor blockers markedly blunted NO release in response to ANG II (10 nM): 77+/-6% inhibition with LOS (n = 8) and 63+/-9% with ...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
