Abstract

In a previous study, we observed that the Ang II-induced contractions are very discreet in femoral veins, probably due to an effective and continuous modulation exerted by the locally produced nitric oxide (NO). In preparations taken from animals subjected to acute exercise or physical training, vasodilator prostanoids and endothelin-1 (ET-1), acting through ET-1 receptors subtype B (ETB), cooperate with the NO in the modulation of these Ang II responses. Possibly, these Ang II responses in femoral vein should be modulated during exercise to prevent an excessive resitance to the centripetal flow. Because of this, it is pertinent to know how the Ang II responses are modulated in pathophysiological conditions that involve elevations in serum/tissue Ang II, as in the premature phase of renovascular hypertension 2 kidneys - 1 clip (2K1C). Thus, this project proposes to study the Ang II responses in rat femoral vein taken from 2K1C rats, as well as the effects of exercise on these responses. In this manner, the angiotensin II and ET-1 functional responses will be studied in preparations of femoral vein obtained from the femoral vein 2K1C (kept at rest or exposed to acute exercise or training). These experiments will be performed also in the presence of inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX), as well as in the presence of antagonists of ETA or ETB receptors and tempol (antioxidant). Simultaneously, the local expression of NOS-3, COX1, COX2 and NADPHoxidase (by Western blotting) and the ET-1 mRNA (by real time PCR) will be measured in these preparations. Finally, the lipid peroxidation will also be quantified in these veins. (AU)
