Sex steroids have been associated with cardiovascular diseases and the modification of the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We cultured aortic endothelial cells from young adult male rats and loaded them with Fura 2 in order to evaluate the direct effects of testosterone on endothelial cells and the probable regulation of bradykinin-induced effects on intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) kinetics, effects that are mediated through an increase in intracellular [IP(3)], which in turn stimulates the rapid release of Ca(2+) from ER stores. Our results show that testosterone had no direct effects on [Ca(2+)](i) kinetics, but did block bradykinin-induced increases in intracellular calcium concentration in endothelial cells. This effect was concentration-dependent; the steroid was applied only 30 s before bradykinin application and thus, the effect can be considered nongenomic in origin. Membrane localization of a putative androgen receptor in endothelial cells could be responsible for this effect. In summary, testosterone can modulate the effects induced by activation of membrane-bound bradykinin receptors.

D001920 Bradykinin A nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from KALLIDIN in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. Bradykinin is also released from MAST CELLS during asthma attacks, from gut walls as a gastrointestinal vasodilator, from damaged tissues as a pain signal, and may be a neurotransmitter.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
