Hypertension is associated with a hypersensitive response to the Ca2+ channel activator, Bay K 8644. We investigated the effect of the endothelin ETA receptor antagonist, BQ-123, on the contractions induced by Bay K 8644 in aorta from spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats. BQ-123 (1 microM) decreased the sensitivity to Bay K 8644 of aorta of SHR down to that of WKY. This observation is consistent with a role for endothelin in hypertension.
高血压与对钙离子通道激活剂Bay K 8644的超敏反应有关。我们研究了内皮素ETA受体拮抗剂BQ-123对自发性高血压(SHR)大鼠和正常血压的Wistar Kyoto(WKY)大鼠主动脉中由Bay K 8644诱导的收缩的影响。BQ-123(1微摩尔)将SHR主动脉对Bay K 8644的敏感性降低至WKY大鼠的水平。这一观察结果与内皮素在高血压中的作用一致。
