In this study, we examined the effects of in vitro and in vivo treatment with isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) on the in vitro response of isolated rat aorta. The in vitro treatment of isolated aorta with ISDN (100 microM) for 2 hr had no effect on the ISDN-induced relaxation of norepinephrine-induced contraction. In the aorta isolated from the rats treated with a high dose (90 mg/kg) of ISDN for 7-14 days, in contrast, the relaxant effect of ISDN was significantly reduced. However, the relaxant effect of sodium nitroprusside was only slightly attenuated by the treatment with a high dose of ISDN for 14 days; and the relaxant effects of 8-bromo-cGMP, levcromakalim and verapamil were unchanged. These results suggest that tolerance to ISDN was obtained only after the in vivo chronic treatment with a high dose of ISDN. ISDN may desensitize the nitric oxide-generating step rather than inactivate guanylate cyclase or the downstream pathways.

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.

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.
