Popis: | Several chronic progressive vascular diseases, such as laminitis, show vasocontractile dysfunction that might evolve into reperfusion injury and/or vessel structural remodelling, which may be traced back to aberrant endothelial function. In the present study, the vasomotor responses of bovine digital veins (BDVs) to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were investigated in blood vessels, with and without endothelium present, and in samples deprived of endothelium before or after overnight incubation in tissue culture medium, to evaluate the effects of short- and long-term endothelial damage on vascular smooth muscle (VSM) reactivity. No significant effects were observed in the blood vessels tested immediately after the removal of endothelium. In contrast, a significant increase in VSM reactivity to 5-HT was seen in vessels incubated without endothelium. This long-term change in smooth muscle reactivity was prevented by exposure to the nitric oxide (NO) donor nitroprusside (P |
