Insulin resistance and impaired functional vasodilation in obese Zucker rats.
    American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 2008, Volume: 294, Issue:4

    Individuals with metabolic syndrome exhibit insulin resistance and an attenuated functional vasodilatory response to exercise. We have shown that impaired functional vasodilation in obese Zucker rats (OZRs) is associated with enhanced thromboxane receptor (TP)-mediated vasoconstriction. We hypothesized that insulin resistance, hyperglycemia/hyperlipidemia, and the resultant ROS are responsible for the increased TP-mediated vasoconstriction in OZRs, resulting in impaired functional vasodilation. Eleven-week-old male lean Zucker rats (LZRs) and OZRs were fed normal rat chow or chow containing rosiglitazone (5 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) for 2 wk. In another set of experiment, LZRs and OZRs were treated with 2 mM tempol (drinking water) for 7-10 days. After the treatments, spinotrapezius muscles were prepared, and arcade arteriolar diameters were measured following muscle stimulation and arachidonic acid (AA) application (10 muM) in the absence and presence of the TP antagonist SQ-29548 (1 muM). OZRs exhibited higher insulin, glucose, triglyceride, and superoxide levels and increased NADPH oxidase activity compared with LZRs. Functional and AA-induced vasodilations were impaired in OZRs. Rosiglitazone treatment improved insulin, glucose, triglyceride, and superoxide levels as well as NADHP oxidase activity in OZRs. Both rosiglitazone and tempol treatment improved vasodilatory responses in OZRs with no effect in LZRs. SQ-29548 treatment improved vasodilatory responses in nontreated OZRs with no effect in LZRs or treated OZRs. These results suggest that insulin resistance and the resultant increased ROS impair functional dilation in OZRs by increasing TP-mediated vasoconstriction.

Impaired dilation of coronary arterioles during increases in myocardial O(2) consumption with hyperglycemia.
    American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and metabolism, 2000, Volume: 279, Issue:4

    Previous studies showed that nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in coronary arteriolar dilation to increases in myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO(2)). We sought to evaluate coronary microvascular responses to endothelium-dependent and to endothelium-independent vasodilators in an in vivo model. Microvascular diameters were measured using intravital microscopy in 10 normal (N) and 9 hyperglycemic (HG; 1 wk alloxan, 60 mg/kg iv) dogs during suffusion of acetylcholine (1, 10, and 100 microM) or nitroprusside (1, 10, and 100 microM) to test the effects on endothelium-dependent and -independent dilation. During administration of acetylcholine, coronary arteriolar dilation was impaired in HG, but was normal during administration of nitroprusside. To examine a physiologically important vasomotor response, 10 N and 7 HG control, 5 HG and 5 N during superoxide dismutase (SOD), and 5 HG and 4 N after SQ29,548 (SQ; thromboxane A(2)/prostaglandin H(2) receptor antagonist) dogs were studied at three levels of MVO(2): at rest, during dobutamine (DOB; 10 microg. kg(-1). min(-1) iv), and during DOB with rapid atrial pacing (RAP; 280 +/- 10 beats/min). During dobutamine, coronary arterioles dilated similarly in all groups, and the increase in MVO(2) was similar among the groups. However, during the greater metabolic stimulus (DOB+RAP), coronary arterioles in N dilated (36 +/- 4% change from diameter at rest) significantly more than HG (16 +/- 3%, P < 0.05). In HG+SQ and in HG+SOD, coronary arterioles dilated similarly to N, and greater than HG (P < 0.05). MVO(2) during DOB+RAP was similar among groups. Normal dogs treated with SOD and SQ29,548 were not different from untreated N dogs. Thus, in HG dogs, dilation of coronary arterioles is selectively impaired in response to administration of the endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine and during increases in MVO(2).
