Popis: Relaxing effect of loop diuretics, piretanide and furosemide in comparison with acetylcholine (ACh) was investigated in guinea-pig isolated mesenteric resistance arteries. Concentration-response curves to ACh (0.001–10 μM) and diuretics (0.0001–1 μM) were constructed in noradrenaline (10–30 μM)-precontracted arteries incubated either in normal physiological salt solution (PSS) or in 30 mM KCl PSS (K-PSS). In PSS, maximal relaxations (Rmax) and pD2 to ACh were 87±2% and 7.1±0.1 (n=10). L-NG-nitro-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 100 μM) reduced Rmax by 20% (P
