Abstract:
BACKGROUND:In arteries, agonists such as acetylcholine release an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) that is neither nitric oxide nor prostacyclin. OBJECTIVES:To examine the responses to acetylcholine in segments of forearm veins from patients with chronic renal failure who either had never received dialysis or had undergone long-term dialysis, and to determine the contribution of nitric oxide and EDHF to endothelium-dependent relaxation in veins from patients with chronic renal failure. METHODS:Isometric tension was recorded in rings of forearm vein from 34 non-dialysed patients, 27 dialysed patients and 14 multiorgan donors (controls). RESULTS:Relaxation in response to acetylcholine was reduced in veins of non-dialysed and dialysed patients. The inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA) and NG,NG-dimethyl-l-arginine (ADMA) reduced by 50% the maximum relaxation in response to acetylcholine in veins from controls and non-dialysed patients; the remaining relaxation was inhibited by 20 mmol/l KCl or by the K+ channel blockers tetraethylammonium chloride, iberiotoxin, charybdotoxin and the combination of barium plus ouabain, but not by apamin or glibenclamide. Relaxation in veins from dialysed patients was inhibited by K+ channel blockade but not by l-NMMA or ADMA. CONCLUSIONS:The results demonstrate that the endothelium-dependent relaxation in forearm veins from controls and non-dialysed patients is mediated by release of nitric oxide and EDHF. In contrast, the relaxation in veins from dialysed patients is mediated mainly by EDHF. EDHF-induced relaxation involves activation of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels.
