Acetylcholine (ACh) induced concentration-dependent relaxations of rabbit aortic strips precontracted with noradrenaline. The relaxations were abolished if the endothelium of the strips was disrupted. Three different antioxidants (butylated hydroxytoluene, dithiothreitol and alpha-tocopherol) reversed the endothelium-dependent vasodilation in a concentration-dependent manner. However, the antioxidant ascorbic acid did not alter the vasodilatation. The hydroxylated eicosatetraenoic acids 5-HETE, 12-HETE, 15-HETE and 5,12-diHETE had no effect on aortic strips under basal or induced tension. These results suggest, that (non-cyclo-oxygenase) oxidation processes, insensitive to the action of ascorbic acid, represent a crucial step in the endothelium-dependent dilatation of rabbit aorta by ACh. The hydroxylated fatty acids tested are unlikely to mediate this relaxation.
乙酰胆碱(ACh)可使预先用去甲肾上腺素预收缩的兔主动脉条产生浓度依赖性舒张。如果主动脉条的内皮被破坏,舒张作用就会消失。三种不同的抗氧化剂(丁基化羟基甲苯、二硫苏糖醇和α-生育酚)以浓度依赖性方式逆转内皮依赖性血管舒张。然而,抗氧化剂抗坏血酸并未改变血管舒张作用。羟基化二十碳四烯酸5-HETE、12-HETE、15-HETE和5,12-二HETE在基础张力或诱导张力下对主动脉条均无作用。这些结果表明,对抗坏血酸作用不敏感的(非环氧化酶)氧化过程是ACh引起兔主动脉内皮依赖性舒张的关键步骤。所测试的羟基化脂肪酸不太可能介导这种舒张作用。
