Endothelin-1 is a recently described endothelium-derived vasoconstricting peptide. Plasma concentrations of immunoreactive (IR-) endothelin were investigated in six healthy young men applying a radioimmunoassay after extraction of endothelin from plasma. In venous plasma a mean concentration of 1.3 +/- 0.4 pmol l-1 was found, whereas the mean concentration in arterial plasma was 0.9 +/- 0.4 pmol l-1 (P less than 0.005). During venous stasis for 10 min the mean plasma concentration of IR-endothelin increased about twofold, from basal 1.1 +/- 0.3 pmol l-1 to 2.1 +/- 0.3 pmol l-1 (P less than 0.01). This manoeuvre may prove helpful to investigate the control of endothelin in vivo under a variety of pathological conditions.
内皮素-1是最近发现的一种由内皮细胞产生的血管收缩肽。应用放射免疫分析法,在从血浆中提取内皮素后,对6名健康年轻男性的免疫反应性(IR-)内皮素的血浆浓度进行了研究。静脉血浆中发现的平均浓度为1.3±0.4 pmol l-1,而动脉血浆中的平均浓度为0.9±0.4 pmol l-1(P<0.005)。在静脉淤滞10分钟期间,IR-内皮素的平均血浆浓度增加了约两倍,从基础值1.1±0.3 pmol l-1增至2.1±0.3 pmol l-1(P<0.01)。这一操作可能有助于研究在各种病理条件下体内内皮素的调控情况。
