Acute and Chronic Captopril, but Not Prazosin or Nifedipine, Normalize Alterations in Adrenergic Intracellular Ca2+ Handling Observed in the Mesenter…
2004
The effect of hypertension and acute (36-h) or chronic (from age 6 to 16 weeks) antihypertensive treatment with prazosin (2 mg kg(-1) per day), nifedipine (50 mg kg(-1) per day), or captopril (50 mg kg(-1) per day) on Ca2+ mobilization due to alpha1-adrenoceptor activation was analyzed in functional studies using arterial rings [four conductance/distributing vessels: aorta, main mesenteric, iliac, and tail arteries and two resistance vessels; first and second small mesenteric artery branches obtained from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, 6 and 16 weeks old) and age-matched Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY)]. Maximal response to noradrenaline in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ is not affected …
