Nonadrenergic noncholinergic (NANC) vasodilator mechanisms may contribute to the maintenance of low vascular resistance characteristic of the pulmonary circulation. Previous studies have demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) is the principal NANC neurotransmitter in guinea pig pulmonary arteries. We examined whether

Thromboxane A2 synthase (TXAS) binds to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and catalyzes both an isomerization of prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to form thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and a fragmentation of PGH2 to form 12-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and malondialdehyde (MDA). TXAS is a

The thromboxane A2 (TXA2) mimetic U44069 has been demonstrated to reduce the GFR and filtration fraction of the normal isolated perfused rat kidney markedly, suggesting a predominant constriction of preglomerular vessels. To assess this possibility directly, effects of U44069 on

The equine aortic valve is subject to non-inflammatory degenerative changes, associated with aortic valvular regurgitation (AR). This disease shares pathological and epidemiological features with AR in humans, and may serve as a useful model to study in-vitro functional responses associated
Bolus i.v. injections of 1.2 N HCl elicit a rapid but transient pulmonary vasoconstriction in broiler chickens. In mammals, the pulmonary vasoconstrictive response to bolus acid injection depends on increased synthesis of thromboxane A2; however, the vascular responsiveness of domestic
