Effect of prostaglandins E 1 , E 2 and A 2 on vascular resistance and responses to noradrenaline, nerve stimulation and angiotensin in the dog hindlimb. 1972

P J Kadowitz

1. The relationship between the vasodilator and inhibitory effects of prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)), E(2) and A(2) on responses to nerve stimulation, noradrenaline and angiotensin was evaluated in the dog hindlimb preparation.2. PGE(1) and PGE(2) were equipotent as vasodilators in the hindlimb; however, PGE(1) was much more potent as an inhibitor of vasoconstrictor responses to nerve stimulation, noradrenaline and angiotensin.3. PGA(2) and PGE(2) were approximately equal as inhibitors of vasoconstrictor responses to noradrenaline, nerve stimulation and angiotensin; however, PGE(2) was far more potent as a vasodilator.4. Since there is no relationship between the vasodilator and inhibitory effects of PGE(1), E(2) and A(2), and since the inhibitory effect of PGA(2) was present at a time when hindlimb perfusion pressure had returned to control value, it is concluded that the inhibitory action is probably not the result of a physiological antagonism.5. Since each prostaglandin inhibited responses to nerve stimulation and noradrenaline to approximately the same extent and responses to angiotensin were also inhibited, it is suggested that these agents antagonize vasoconstrictor responses by a nonspecific depressant effect on smooth muscle cells.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.
