Non-adrenergic vasoconstriction and vasodilatation of guinea-pig aorta by β-phenylethylamine and amphetamine - Role of nitric oxide determined with L-NAME and NO scavengers.
Sympathomimetic and trace amines, including β-phenylethylamine (PEA) and amphetamine, increase blood pressure and constrict isolated blood vessels. By convention this is regarded as a sympathomimetic response, however, recent studies suggest trace amine-associated receptor (TAAR) involvement. There is also uncertainty whether these amines also release nitric oxide (NO) causing opposing vasodilatation. These questions were addressed in guinea-pig isolated aorta, a species not previously examined. Guinea-pig aortic rings were set up to measure contractile tension. Cumulative concentration-response curves were constructed for the reference α-adrenoceptor agonist, phenylephrine, PEA or d-amphetamine before and in the presence of vehicles, the α Topics: Amphetamine; Animals; Aorta; Curcumin; Guinea Pigs; Male; NG-Nitroarginine Methyl Ester; Nitric Oxide; Phenethylamines; Phenylephrine; Prazosin; Vasoconstriction; Vasodilation; Xanthophylls | 2018 |
