Abstract
Although thiobarbiturates potentiate, and fentanyl attenuates peripheral vasoconstriction, the intracellular mechanism involved in this phenomenon is not clear. Because smooth muscle contraction induced by alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonists is mediated by the phosphatidylinositol (PI) response, this study was carried out to clarify if thiamylal and fentanyl affect the norepinephrine-induced PI response in rat aortic slices. Rat aortic slices were incubated in Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 5 mM LiCl, [3H]myo-inositol, and varying concentrations of thiamylal or fentanyl. The Pl response was stimulated by 0.9 microM (ED50) norepinephrine (NE). The [3H]inositol monophosphate (IP1) was separated from [3H]myo-inositol by column chromatography and counted with a liquid scintillation counter. The basal IP1 accumulation was not affected by thiamylal and fentanyl. Norepinephrine-induced IP1 accumulation was potentiated by thiamylal at concentrations of 10 microM and 100 microM. Norepinephrine-induced IP1 accumulation was attenuated by 1 microM and 10 microM fentanyl. The results suggest that thiamylal stimulates the NE-induced PI response, which potentiates the vasoconstriction, and fentanyl attenuates NE-induced PI response, which woul...Continue Reading
