Effect of L-arginine on haemoglobin-induced inhibition of endothelium-dependent relaxation of isolated cerebral arteries. 1990

Department of Physiology, University of Munich, Federal Republic of Germany.

The effects of Oxy-haemoglobin were investigated in the rat isolated basilar artery and compared to Methylene blue and NG-Nitro-L-Arginine (NOLAG), as these compounds interfere with the relaxation induced by the endothelium-derived relaxing factor. Acetylcholine induced a concentration-related relaxation of serotonin-precontracted arteries which was further enhanced by the application of L-arginine. Similarly, the spasmolytic activity of L-arginine was enhanced by acetylcholine. Oxy-haemoglobin, Methylene blue and NOLAG induced an increase of resting tension and inhibited acetylcholine-induced relaxation. Furthermore, inhibition of acetylcholine-induced relaxation by Oxy-haemoglobin and NOLAG but not that by Methylene blue was partially reversed by L-arginine.

D008751 Methylene Blue A compound consisting of dark green crystals or crystalline powder, having a bronze-like luster. Solutions in water or alcohol have a deep blue color. Methylene blue is used as a bacteriologic stain and as an indicator. It inhibits GUANYLATE CYCLASE, and has been used to treat cyanide poisoning and to lower levels of METHEMOGLOBIN.
