Abstract:
:We determined involvement of nitric oxide (NO) derived from perivascular nerve in venous relaxation. In helical strips of dog superficial temporal veins contracted with prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) nicotine produced a contraction, which was reversed to a relaxation by prazosin. The relaxation was partially attenuated by timolol or metoprolol. The residual relaxation was not influenced by treatment with atropine or indomethacin and by endothelium denudation but was abolished by NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA), a NO synthase inhibitor, and hexamethonium. L- but not D-arginine reversed the inhibition induced by L-NA. Relaxations induced by NO were not influenced by L-NA. Similar results were also obtained in relaxations induced by transmural electrical stimulation that were sensitive to tetrodotoxin (TTX). In the monkey venous strips, relaxations induced by nicotine under treatment with prazosin were reduced by timolol. The relaxation observed with combined treatment with alpha- and beta-antagonists was abolished by L-NA, and L-arginine restored the response. The presence of nerve fibers containing NO synthase immunoreactivity or NADPH diaphorase in the adventitia of dog and monkey veins was determined histologically. The findings so far obtained strongly suggest the presence of perivascular nerves that mediate venodilation via a release of NO. Contractions of the temporal vein appear to be mediated by norepinephrine (NE) released from adrenergic nerves that stimulates alpha 1-adrenoceptors, whereas relaxations are mediated by neurogenic NE, acting possibly on the beta 1-adrenoceptor subtype, in addition to NO derived from nerves.
