Effects of prostacyclin (PGI2) and adenosine (ASN) on total and regional blood flow of isolated, collateralized dog hearts

Basic Research in Cardiology

Abstract

Dogs were subjected to chronic occlusion of the left circumflex and the right coronary artery by ameroid-type constrictors 4-5 weeks before the experiments. The hearts were isolated, fibrillated and perfused with blood (100 mm Hg) from a support dog. Total and regional myocardial blood flow as well as peripheral coronary pressure (circumflex artery) were determined before and during infusion of PGI2 and ASN into the isolated hearts. Both drugs increased total and regional blood flow to all parts of the myocardium in a dose-dependent manner, PGI2 being 2-3 times more potent than ASN. The perfusion pressure for the collateral-dependent myocardium, the peripheral coronary pressure, decreased following high doses of both drugs. For PGI2 a dose level existed where total flow was increased, while peripheral coronary pressure remained unaffected. After termination of the infusion of PGI2, a peripheral coronary pressure rose above predrug level with the total blood flow still being elevated. These findings indicate a PGI2-induced dilatation of collateral vessels. In general, the hemodynamic profile within the isolated hearts and the support dogs was characterized by the pronounced vasodilatory effects of PGI2 on arterioles. However, th...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
