Abstract
In order to examine whether arsenic, one of environmental stress, contribute to augumentation and relaxation of rat aorta, this study was performed in vivo and in vitro, using intacted or denuded rats aorta ring preparation, respectively. The carotid arterial pressure was recorded on an ink-writing physiograph(Grass Co. 79E) connected to strain gauge. The contractile response of vascular ring with or without endothelium preparation isolated from rat were determined in organ bath and was recorded on physiograph connected to isometric transducer. Vasopressin-,and phenylephrine- induced increase in arterial pressure significantly enhanced in arsenic-treated rats; increase of 19.1%, and 46.6%, respectively. Vascular contractile response was measured in vitro preparations exposed to 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mM of arsenic for 1, 3, 5 and 8 hours. The dose-vascular responses of phenylephrine augmented by increasing dose of arsenic in the strips exposed to arsenic for 8 hours, and did not augmented for 1, 3, 5 hours. The phenomenon was not affected by strips denuded endothelium. And the response of relaxation of rat aorta induced by nitroprusside was not influenced by arsenic stress, but acetylcholine was a little increased. compared to that of control. There were no significant difference in relaxation between control and arsenic treated rings with endothelium or denuded. All of the results, phenyleprine-induced vascular contraction was significantly enhanced in 4 mM arsenic-treated rat aortic rings compared with control, whether endothelium was present or denuded at 8 hours after arsenic treatment. It may be a mechanism by which long-term arsenic stresses play a role in development of hypertension.
