Abstract：
:The objective of this study was to investigate whether age induces changes on vasodilator response induced by cromakalim, an ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channel opener, as well as the underlying mechanism involved in this possible alteration. For this purpose, aortic segments from young (3-5 months) and old (3 years) rabbits were used, which were precontracted with noradrenaline (NA, 1 microM). The vasodilator response induced by cromakalim (0.01-100 microM) was reduced in intact segments from old rabbits, and endothelium removal reduced and did not modify this effect in young and old animals, respectively. In both groups of animals, glibenclamide (10 microM), a blocker of K(ATP) channels, significantly reduced the response elicited by cromakalim, which was not modified by the large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel blocker charybdotoxin (ChTX, 0.4 microM). Acetylcholine (ACh, 10 microM) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 100 microM) induced a lesser vasodilator effect in aortic segments from old compared with young rabbits. In segments precontracted with NA, 10 microM ACh or 100 microM SNP similarly increased cGMP levels in both groups of animals. However, basal cGMP level was reduced in segments from old rabbits. Incubation with 8-bromo-cGMP (100 microM) increased the response induced by cromakalim in both groups of animals, reaching similar maximum values in young and old rabbits. The response induced by cromakalim plus 8-bromo-cGMP was markedly decreased by glibenclamide and unmodified by ChTx in both types of animals. These results suggest that aging decreases the vasodilator response to cromakalim, mechanism in which appears to be involved the maintained low cGMP levels observed in old rabbits, and that this messenger modulates the degree of K(ATP) channel activation.
