Differential recovery of prostacyclin and endothelium-derived relaxing factor after vascular injury. Am. J. Physiol. 262 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 31): H1449-H1457, 1992. The recovery of prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2, PGI2) synthesis and endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) activity, as demonstrated by acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation, by rabbit aorta was examined up to 8 wk after balloon catheter-induced injury. Following injury, basal 6-keto-PGF1 alpha formation was decreased acutely; however, after 3 wk it was not different from control. Arachidonic acid-stimulated 6-keto-PGF1 alpha formation was decreased, returning to control levels at 3 and 8 wk for thoracic and abdominal aorta, respectively. ACh-induced relaxation did not return to control levels over the 8-wk study. Initiation of reendothelialization with a layer of hyperplastic endothelial cells overlying subendothelial fibrosis and intimal hyperplasia were present at 2-3 wk. Intimal hyperplasia appeared 2 wk after injury and progressed throughout the period of the study. These data indicate that following balloon catheter-induced injury the formation of both PGI2 and EDRF is reduced and that recovery follows a differential time course. In addition, the recovery of PGI2 formation did not coincide with the attenuation of intimal hyperplasia, whereas the relationship between EDRF formation and intimal hyperplasia is uncertain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006965 Hyperplasia An increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ without tumor formation. It differs from HYPERTROPHY, which is an increase in bulk without an increase in the number of cells. Hyperplasias
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D011450 Prostaglandin Endoperoxides, Synthetic Synthetic compounds that are analogs of the naturally occurring prostaglandin endoperoxides and that mimic their pharmacologic and physiologic activities. They are usually more stable than the naturally occurring compounds.

D011463 Prostaglandins H A group of physiologically active prostaglandin endoperoxides. They are precursors in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. The most frequently encountered member of this group is the prostaglandin H2.
D011464 Epoprostenol A prostaglandin that is a powerful vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. It is biosynthesized enzymatically from PROSTAGLANDIN ENDOPEROXIDES in human vascular tissue. The sodium salt has been also used to treat primary pulmonary hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PULMONARY).

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002404 Catheterization Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions. Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
D005996 Nitroglycerin A volatile vasodilator which relieves ANGINA PECTORIS by stimulating GUANYLATE CYCLASE and lowering cytosolic calcium. It is also sometimes used for TOCOLYSIS and explosives.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. 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.
