1. Estudo do efeito relaxante de um novo composto doador de óxido nítrico em preparações de traquéias isoladas de ratos / Study of the relaxing effect of a new nitric oxide donor compound in preparations of isolated rat tracheae
This study evaluated the mechanisms of relaxation of two nitric oxide (NO) donors, ruthenium complex [Ru(terpy)(bdq)NO+]3+ (Terpy) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in isolated trachea of rats. The isolated trachea was sectioned into rings and contracted with carbachol in an organ chamber. The relaxing effect of Terpy and SNP was evaluated at increasing concent

2. Estudo do efeito relaxante de um novo composto doador de óxido nítrico em preparações de traquéias isoladas de ratos / Study of the relaxing effect of a new nitric oxide donor compound in preparations of isolated rat tracheae
O presente trabalho avaliou os mecanismos de relaxamento de dois doadores de óxido nítrico (NO), o complexo de rutênio [Ru(terpy)(bdq)NO+]3+ (Terpy) e o nitroprussiato de sódio (NPS) em traquéias isoladas de ratos. A traquéia isolada foi montada em banho para órgãos isolados e contraída com carbacol para estudo do relaxamento. O efeito relaxante do

3. The mechanism of gentisic acid-induced relaxation of the guinea pig isolated trachea: the role of potassium channels and vasoactive intestinal peptide receptors
We examined some of the mechanisms by which the aspirin metabolite and the naturally occurring metabolite gentisic acid induced relaxation of the guinea pig trachea in vitro. In preparations with or without epithelium and contracted by histamine, gentisic acid caused concentration-dependent and reproducible relaxation, with mean EC50 values of 18 µM and Ema

4. Purification and physiological evaluation of a guanylate cyclase activating protein from retinal rods.
In retinal rods light triggers a cascade of enzymatic reactions that increases cGMP hydrolysis and generates an electrical signal by causing closure of cGMP-gated ion channels in the photoreceptor outer segment. This leads to a decrease in internal Ca, which activates guanylate cyclase and promotes photoresponse recovery by stimulating the resynthesis of cGM

5. Nitric oxide regulates K+ and Cl- channels in guard cells through a subset of abscisic acid-evoked signaling pathways
Abscisic acid (ABA) triggers a complex sequence of signaling events that lead to concerted modulation of ion channels at the plasma membrane of guard cells and solute efflux to drive stomatal closure in plant leaves. Recent work has indicated that nitric oxide (NO) and its synthesis are a prerequisite for ABA signal transduction in Arabidopsis and Vicia guar

6. NO hyperpolarizes pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and decreases the intracellular Ca2+ concentration by activating voltage-gated K+ channels.
NO causes pulmonary vasodilation in patients with pulmonary hypertension. In pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells, the activity of voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels controls resting membrane potential. In turn, membrane potential is an important regulator of the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and pulmonary vascular tone. We used patch clam

7. Endothelium-derived relaxing factor and nitroprusside compared in noradrenaline- and K+-contracted rabbit and rat aortae.
1. The effects of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) (as stimulated by acetylcholine in the presence of endothelium), sodium nitroprusside and 8-bromocyclic GMP on mechanical relaxation, calcium (45Ca) influx and cyclic GMP levels were studied in isolated rabbit aortic preparations pre-contracted either by noradrenaline or by high (120 mM) extracellu

8. Mechanism of lactate-induced relaxation of isolated rat mesenteric resistance arteries.
1. The effects of the sodium salt of the weak acid lactate on tension and intracellular pH (pH1) were studied in rat mesenteric small arteries mounted on a wire myograph. Sodium lactate was substituted iso-osmotically for sodium chloride. 2. At a concentration of 50 mM, both L- and D-stereoisomers of lactate markedly relaxed arteries preconstricted with nora

9. Acetylcholine-induced K+ currents in smooth muscle cells of intact rat small arteries.
1. The mechanism of the sustained acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization (EDH) in intact rat small mesenteric arteries prestimulated with noradrenaline (10(-6) M) was investigated by means of the single microelectrode voltage-clamp method. 2. The vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in this preparation are poorly or even not coupled fo
