The effects of chronic treatment with SQ29852, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, on spontaneous smooth muscle tone and endothelium-dependent relaxation of aorta from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) were studied and compared with those of captopril. Endothelium-removed aorta from 16-week-old SHRSP exhibited a high amplitude of spontaneously developed active tension (active tone), whereas no active tone was observed in the preparation from control normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Treatment with SQ29852 or captopril at age 5-16 weeks prevented the development of hypertension. No active tone could be detected in the preparation from SQ29852-treated SHRSP. Endothelium-dependent relaxation was markedly reduced in the preparation from nontreated SHRSP compared with WKY rats. Treatment with SQ29852 prevented the impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxation. It was also shown that norepinephrine-induced contraction was markedly depressed in endothelium-intact aorta from SQ29852-treated rats. The effects of SQ29852 were more prominent than those of hydralazine when blood pressure was maintained at similar levels. It was suggested that SQ29852 exerts an action on both vascular smooth muscle and endothelium that is mediated by the inhibition of angiotension-converting enzyme in addition to indirect actions of SQ29852 that are brought about by blood pressure lowering.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
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.

D009126 Muscle Relaxation That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position. Muscle Relaxations,Relaxation, Muscle,Relaxations, Muscle
D009131 Muscle, Smooth, Vascular The nonstriated involuntary muscle tissue of blood vessels. Vascular Smooth Muscle,Muscle, Vascular Smooth,Muscles, Vascular Smooth,Smooth Muscle, Vascular,Smooth Muscles, Vascular,Vascular Smooth Muscles
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.

D002216 Captopril A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.
