A process that results in a decrease in the diameter of an artery during the norepinephrine-epinephrine response to decreased blood pressure. [GOC:mtg_cardio, ISBN:0721643949]
Norepinephrine and epinephrine, also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline, are catecholamines that play a critical role in regulating systemic arterial blood pressure through vasoconstriction. This process involves a complex interplay of hormonal signaling, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and autonomic nervous system regulation.
Upon sensing a drop in blood pressure, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve endings in the blood vessels. Epinephrine is also released from the adrenal medulla, further contributing to the vasoconstriction response.
Norepinephrine and epinephrine bind to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors located on vascular smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of intracellular signaling events, ultimately leading to the activation of phospholipase C. Phospholipase C breaks down phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3).
DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC), while IP3 mobilizes calcium from intracellular stores. These signaling pathways converge to increase intracellular calcium levels. Elevated calcium concentrations promote the interaction of calcium with calmodulin, a calcium-binding protein. The calcium-calmodulin complex then activates myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), which phosphorylates myosin light chains. This phosphorylation allows myosin to bind to actin filaments, leading to the contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells.
The contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells results in vasoconstriction, narrowing the lumen of blood vessels and increasing resistance to blood flow. This increased resistance leads to an elevation in systemic arterial blood pressure, restoring blood pressure to its normal range.
In addition to vasoconstriction, norepinephrine and epinephrine also have other effects on the cardiovascular system, including increased heart rate, enhanced contractility of the heart, and increased cardiac output. These combined effects contribute to the overall regulation of blood pressure.'
