1. The aim was to test the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) donor drugs can inhibit the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) transporter, SERT. 2. The NO donors, MAHMA/NO (a NONOate; (Z)-1-[N-methyl-N-[6-(N-methylammoniohexyl)-amino]]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate)

Proteinase-activated receptor (PAR)-mediated vasorelaxant responses were examined in main pulmonary artery preparations from control rats and rats exposed to hypoxia (10% oxygen) for 1 or 4 weeks to induce pulmonary hypertension. Trypsin and the PAR-

Chymase is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease secreted from mast cells. Mammalian chymases are classified into two subgroups (alpha and beta) according to structure and substrate specificity; human chymase is an alpha-chymase. An important action of

Vasoactive agents were examined in arteries from control rats and rats exposed to intermittent hypoxia (10% oxygen; 8 h/day) for 3, 5 or 20 days. Hypoxic rats developed right ventricular hypertrophy after 5 days, but became pulmonary hypertensive (el

Chymase is contained in the secretory granules of mast cells. In addition to the synthesis of angiotensin II, chymase is involved in transforming growth factor-beta activation and cleaves Type I procollagen to produce collagen. NK301 and BCEAB are or

The effects of S-nitrosocaptopril (SNOcap), administered either intravenously or by oral gavage, on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) were examined in anaesthetised normotensive rats and rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (10% oxygen for 1 week).

1 On rat isolated pulmonary arteries, vasorelaxation by S-nitrosocaptopril (SNOcap) was compared with S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and nitroprusside, and inhibition by SNOcap of contractions to angiotensin I was compared with the angiotensin convertin

1. Inhibition of rat platelet aggregation by the nitric oxide (NO) donor MAHMA NONOate (Z-1-N-methyl-N-[6-(N-methylammoniohexyl)amino]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate) was investigated. The aims were to compare its anti-aggregatory effect with vasorelaxation

Objective : To test the hypothesis that Vegf-B contributes to the pulmonary vascular remodelling, and the associated pulmonary hypertension, induced by exposure of mice to chronic hypoxia. Methods : Right ventricular systolic pressure, the ratio of r

1. Vasorelaxant properties of three nitric oxide (NO) donor drugs (glyceryl trinitrate, sodium nitroprusside and spermine NONOate) in mouse aorta (phenylephrine pre-contracted) were compared with those of endothelium-derived NO (generated with acetyl
