Regional differences in the arterial response to vasopressin: role of endothelial nitric oxide

Abstract: 1 The isometric response to arginine-vasopressin (10-1o 10-7 M) was studied in 2 mm long rabbit arterial segments isolated from several vascular beds (cutaneous, pial, renal, coronary, muscular, mesenteric and pulmonary). 2 Vasopressin induced contraction in central ear (cutaneous), basilar (pial), renal, coronary and saphenous (muscular) arteries, but had no effect in mesenteric and pulmonary arteries; the order of potency for the contraction was: ear > basilar > renal > coronary > saphenous arteries. 3 Treat… Show more

“…Taking into account the lower systemic clearance of FE 202158 in the rat (9.4 ml/kg/min) compared with AVP (ϳ50 ml/kg/min) (Crofton et al, 1986), the above ED 50 values would correspond to EC 50 values of ϳ0.43 nM for FE 202158 and ϳ0.068 nM for AVP. The ear pinna vascular bed is exquisitely sensitive to the vasoconstrictor effect of AVP, being up to 10 times more sensitive than other vascular beds (Garcia-Villalón, 1996), which would explain why both FE 202158 and AVP are ϳ10 times more potent here than in the isolated common iliac artery.…”

“…The vasoconstrictive response to KCl (120 mmol/l) is usually used to assess the contractile ability of the vascular smooth muscle. Agonist-induced vasoconstrictions are often standardized by E max·KCl in order to eliminate an influence of the different thickness of muscle layer in larger and smaller arteries [30][31][32]. Therefore, it was reasonable to compare the magnitude of the vasoconstriction induced by α,β-MeATP with that induced by NA, regardless of the responses expressed as g/mg tissue or as a percentage of the maximal vasoconstriction to KCl in this study.…”

“…This result supports the theory that less fluid administration leads to less fluid shift of vascular fluid into interstitial tissue, improved oxygen delivery, and a faster recovery rate. This is an important advantage because vasopressin can preserve blood flow in important vital organs without adequate body fluids [6,21], delay multiorgan failure, and help escape the vicious cycle of decompensatory shock [16]. On the other hand, catecholamine requires fluid replacement before administration because of the serious complications of vasoconstriction via α 1 -receptor and less sensitivity of α 1 -receptor in hypoxemic environment [19].…”
