Splanchnic artery occlusion (SAO) shock was induced in anesthetized rats by clamping the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min. The arteries were then released and survival rate, mean survival time, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), plasma levels of thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and the phagocytotic activity of peritoneal macrophages were evaluated. Shocked animals died within 89 +/- 10 min, while all sham-shocked rats survived greater than 3 h. SAO shock produced relevant changes in MAP, significantly increased plasma levels of TxB2 and 6-keto-PFG1 alpha, and decreased peritoneal macrophage phagocytotic activity. The administration of G 619, a dual thromboxane synthase inhibitor/thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist (50 mg/kg, 15 min before SAO shock) significantly increased survival time (190 +/- 13 min) and survival rate, reduced plasma levels of TxB2, and partially restored the impairment in peritoneal macrophage phagocytosis. Finally, the administration of G 619 had beneficial effects on changes in MAP-induced bay SAO shock. These data further confirm the involvement of TxA2 in SAO shock and suggest that G 619 may have positive effects in low-flow states.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008297 Male Males
D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D010847 Picolines A group of compounds that are monomethyl derivatives of pyridines. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Picoline
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. This also includes animals with a long history of closed colony breeding.

D011982 Receptors, Prostaglandin Cell surface receptors that bind prostaglandins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Prostaglandin receptor subtypes have been tentatively named according to their relative affinities for the endogenous prostaglandins. They include those which prefer prostaglandin D2 (DP receptors), prostaglandin E2 (EP1, EP2, and EP3 receptors), prostaglandin F2-alpha (FP receptors), and prostacyclin (IP receptors).

Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001157 Arterial Occlusive Diseases Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES. They are characterized by greatly reduced or absence of blood flow through these vessels. They are also known as arterial insufficiency.
