Response of pulpal blood flow to intra-arterial infusion of endothelin. 1992

T M Gilbert, and D H Pashley, and R W Anderson

Laser Doppler flowmetry was used to determine the effect of the vasoconstrictor endothelin 1 (ET-1) on the pulpal blood flow of intact dogs' teeth during mandibular arterial infusion. ET-1 produced a profound decrease in pulpal blood flow of a relatively long duration at lower doses than similar infusions of norepinephrine. The decrease in pulpal blood flow in response to ET-1 was partially attenuated by the calcium channel blocker nifedipine. These findings demonstrate the presence of receptors for ET-1 in the microvasculature of the dental pulp and suggests that ET-1 may function in the local control of the pulpal microcirculation.

D016232 Endothelins 21-Amino-acid peptides produced by vascular endothelial cells and functioning as potent vasoconstrictors. The endothelin family consists of three members, ENDOTHELIN-1; ENDOTHELIN-2; and ENDOTHELIN-3. All three peptides contain 21 amino acids, but vary in amino acid composition. The three peptides produce vasoconstrictor and pressor responses in various parts of the body. However, the quantitative profiles of the pharmacological activities are considerably different among the three isopeptides.
