Effect of prostaglandin E2 on the pressor response to periarterial stimulation and norepinephrine of the isolated perfused rabbit kidney. 1975

R K Türker, and Z S Ercan

The interaction of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and aspirin with the responses to peri-arterial stimulation (PS) and norepinephrine (NE) was studied in the isolated kidney of rabbit perfused through the renal artery at constant flow with Krebs' solution. NE and PS increased vascular perfusion pressure of kidney and caused a contraction on the isolated rabbit aortic strip superfused with the effluent from kidney. Addition of PGE2 to the perfusion medium decreased the PS-induced rise in perfusion pressure without changing the effect of exogenous NE. In contrast, addition of aspirin to the perfusion medium induced a potentiation of the response to PS but not to NE. These results suggest that PGE2 modulates the effect of PS probably by inhibiting the releases of NE from sympathetic nerve endings.

D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE
