... in the females, unlike in males, is associated with altered renal vascular responsiveness to angiotensin II (ANG II). Methods: Five or 20 weeks after ACF creation (compensated and decompensated HF, respectively), we assessed renal blood flow (RBF) responses to intrarenal administration of ANG II, norepinephrine...

... of the aorto-caval fistula (ACF). Renal blood flow (RBF) responses were determined to renal arterial administration of ANG II, native 11,12-EET, an analog of 14,15-EETs (EET-A), norepinephrine (NE), acetylcholine (Ach) and bradykinin (Bk) in healthy (i.e., sham-operated) TGR and ACF TGR (5 weeks after ACF...

... by an ultrasonic transient-time flow probe maximum RBF responses to renal artery infusion of angiotensin II (ANG II), norepinephrine (NE) and acetylcholine (Ach) in healthy male rats and animals with compensated and decompensated CHF. CHF was induced by volume overload achieved by the creation of the aorto-caval...

... no effect on aortic adrenoreceptors was seen. Administration of everolimus had no influence on mRNA adrenoreceptor expression in mesenteric resistance arteries. Furthermore, contractile responses of mesenteric resistance arteries to norepinephrine were markedly reduced after treatment with CsA, while...

...Bożena Bądzyńska; Janusz Sadowski Aims: Treatment of arterial hypotension with norepinephrine (NE) is associated with renal vasoconstriction and may lead to ischemic kidney injury; the risk involved is still a matter of debate. Methods: In anesthetized, acutely uninephrectomized rats, we examined...
