Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Our purpose was to study the effect of oophorectomy on the passive and active mechanical characteristics of rabbit small cerebral and small coronary arteries. STUDY DESIGN:Ring preparations of small cerebral and small coronary arteries from rabbits that had undergone oophorectomy and sham operation were mounted on myographs 6 weeks after operation. Experiments were performed as follows. (1) concentration-response relations for vasopressin (10(-11) to 10(-7) mol/L), U46619 (10(-10) to 10(-6) mol/L), 5-hydroxytryptamine (10(-7) to 10(-5) mol/L), and endothelin (10(-13) to 10(-7) mol/L); (2) relaxing effects of acetylcholine (10(-8) to 10(-4) mol/L); (3) length-tension relations after addition of high potassium (124 mmol/L), vasopressin (10(-7) mol/L), and a mixture composed of potassium (124 mmol/L), vasopressin (10(-7) mol/L), and prostaglandin F 2 alpha (10(-5) mol/L); (4) calculation of vessel morphologic features and determination of hydroxyproline as a measure of collagen content. RESULTS:Oophorectomy did not influence basal tone, relaxant effects of acetylcholine, vessel morphologic features, elastic characteristics, or hydroxyproline content of the vessels. However, in cerebral arteries at a normalized lumen diameter, oophorectomy induced a marked increase in the force development after stimulation with agonists but not after depolarization with high potassium. The reason for this was a leftward shift in the active length-tension curves (vasopressin activation). In coronary arteries none of these changes were seen after oophorectomy. CONCLUSION:These data demonstrate that withdrawal of ovarian hormones changes the position of the active length-tension curve for pharmacomechanical but not electromechanical coupling of small cerebral arteries without interference with the elastic characteristics of these vessels.
