The purpose of this study was to assess the direct effects of dobutamine on porcine coronary arteries and to investigate the mechanism of its action. Rings of coronary arteries from pigs were suspended in baths containing Krebs solution, and isometric tension was measured. The response to dobutamine (10(-8)-10(-3) M) was investigated in porcine coronary arterial rings contracted by KCl. The roles of endothelium, nitric oxide (NO), cyclic GMP (cGMP), prostaglandins and the adrenergic beta1, beta2-receptor on dobutamine-induced relaxation were also studied. Dobutamine inhibited the vasocontractivity to KCl and CaCl2, and relaxed porcine coronary artery. The relaxing response to dobutamine in coronary artery was significantly reduced by blockage of the adrenergic beta1-receptor, but not by removal of endothelium, blockage of the adrenergic beta2-receptor, inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase, guanylate cyclase and prostaglandin synthase. Our results suggest that dobutamine induces relaxation of isolated porcine coronary arteries via the adrenergic P1-receptor.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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. Inotropism,Muscular Contraction,Contraction, Muscle,Contraction, Muscular,Contractions, Muscle,Contractions, Muscular,Inotropisms,Muscle Contractions,Muscular Contractions
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
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.

D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
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.
