dc.description.abstract | Background and Purpose
We investigated whether pregnancy was associated with changed function in components
of perivascular mesenteric innervation and the mechanism/s involved.
Experimental Approach
We used superior mesenteric arteries from female Sprague-Dawley rats divided into two
groups: control rats (in oestrous phase) and pregnant rats (20 days of pregnancy). Modifications
in the vasoconstrictor response to electrical field stimulation (EFS) were analysed in
the presence/absence of phentolamine (alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist) or L-NAME (nitric
oxide synthase-NOS- non-specific inhibitor). Vasomotor responses to noradrenaline (NA),
and to NO donor DEA-NO were studied, NA and NO release measured and neuronal NOS
(nNOS) expression/activation analysed.
Key Results
EFS induced a lower frequency-dependent contraction in pregnant than in control rats.
Phentolamine decreased EFS-induced vasoconstriction in segments from both experimental
groups, but to a greater extent in control rats. EFS-induced vasoconstriction was increased
by L-NAME in arteries from both experimental groups. This increase was greater in
segments from pregnant rats. Pregnancy decreased NA release while increasing NO release.
nNOS expression was not modified but nNOS activation was increased by pregnancy.
Pregnancy decreased NA-induced vasoconstriction response and did not modify DEANO-
induced vasodilation response | en_US |
