Abstract

Abstract—Nitric oxide and prostaglandins were shown to contribute to the endothelial mediation of flow-induced dilation of skeletal muscle arterioles of rats. Thus, we hypothesized that flow-induced dilation and its mediation are altered in gracilis muscle arterioles of mice deficient in the gene for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS-KO) compared with control wild-type (WT) mice. Gracilis muscle arterioles (≈80 μm) of male mice were isolated, then cannulated and pressurized in a vessel chamber. The increases in diameter elicited by increases in perfusate flow from 0 to 10 μL/min were similar in arterioles from eNOS-KO (n=28) and WT (n=22) mice (≈20 μm at 10 μL/min flow). Removal of the endothelium eliminated flow-induced dilations in vessels of both strains of mice.Nω-nitro-l-arginine (L-NNA, 10−4 mol/L) significantly inhibited flow-induced dilation in arterioles of WT mice by ≈51% but had no effect on responses of arterioles from eNOS-KO mice. Indomethacin (INDO, 10−5 mol/L) inhibited flow-induced dilation of WT mice by ≈49%, whereas it completely abolished this response in arterioles of eNOS-KO mice. Simultaneous administration of INDO and L-NNA eliminated flow-induced responses in arterioles of WT mice. Dilations to carbaprostacyclin were similar at concentrations of 10−8 and 3×10−8 mol/L but decreased significantly at 10−7 mol/L in arterioles of eNOS-KO compared with those of WT mice. These findings demonstrate that, despite the lack of nitric oxide mediation, flow-induced dilation is close to normal in arterioles of eNOS-KO mice because of an enhanced release of endothelial dilator prostaglandins and suggest that this vascular adaptation may contribute to the regulation of peripheral resistance in eNOS-KO mice.

  • Activation of AMP kinase can lead to mitochondrial biogenesis and increased mitochondrial number, and this pathway can also be stimulated by mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide-dependent activation of Akt.

    “Although activation of AMP kinase can lead to mitochondrial biogenesis and increased mitochondrial number, this pathway can also directly be stimulated by mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide-dependent activation of the MAP kinase Akt (911, 919).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
