... concentrations of nitrite anions. The idea of an equilibrium between the two in solution was also supported by the observed release of NO from nitrite anions in the absence of gas. With rings of precontracted pig pulmonary arteries (prostaglandin F 2α ; 10 μ mol/l), the steady-state concentration of dissolved...

...% fish oil supplementation (seven in each group), and were killed after 2 weeks of feeding. The ascending, descending and abdominal aortas as well as the pulmonary artery were harvested for analyses of prostanoid production, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase activity and cholesterol levels...

... antagonists in blocking the B-HT 933-induced contractile responses of the dog saphenous vein and preventing adrenaline-induced aggregation of human platelets. 5. Together with previously published data derived from tritium overflow studies on rabbit pulmonary arteries and displacement of [ 3 H]-rauwolscine...

...G. Haeusler; J. E. De Peyer 1. Strips of rabbit main pulmonary artery (RMPA) were used to study the effects of several agonists on tension development and membrane potential of the vascular smooth muscle cells. 2. The following α-adrenoceptor agonists were employed: methoxamine and St 587 (α 1...
