To elucidate further the contribution of endothelin into endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction evoked by hypoxia, we observed endothelin release during hypoxia. Endothelin was detectable in perfusate from mesenteric artery. Immunoreactive endothelin was confirmed as endothelin-1 by a reverse phase-HPLC. Endothelin release increased 4.1 +/- 1.3 to 12.4 +/- 2.0 pg/30 min without changing perfusion pressure. Thirty minutes of hypoxia stimulated endothelin release by 71 +/- 11% (P less than 0.05) and was associated with an elevation of perfusion pressure. These results suggest that endothelin contributes to endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction by hypoxia in mesenteric artery and may play an important role in the local peripheral vascular tone.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

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.
