Pharmacological experiments revealed that ET-1 produced constriction of renal arteries dependent on the influx of extracellular Ca (2+), mediated solely through ET (A) receptor stimulation.

On embryonic day 15, the chicken DA did not respond to O (2) (0 to 21%), norepinephrine (NE), or phenylephrine (Phe) but contracted in response to high-K (+) solution, the inhibitor of voltage-gated channels 4-aminopyridine, U-46619, and endothelin (ET)-1.
Oxygen-induced contraction was restricted to the pulmonary side of the DA and was augmented by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N (omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester and the soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4] oxadiazolo [4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one and reduced by the peptidic ET (A) and ET (B)-receptor antagonist PD-142,893.

1 Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) produces varying effects in mesenteric arteries: vasorelaxation (third-order branches, G3), modest vasorelaxation (G2), no effect (G1) and vasoconstriction (the superior mesenteric artery, G0). 2 In G3, vasorelaxation to THC was inhibited by pertussis toxin, but was unaffected by the CB1 receptor antagonist, AM251 (1 microM), incubation with the TRPV1 receptor agonist capsaicin (10 microM, 1 h), the TRPV1 receptor antagonist capsazepine (10 microM) or de-endothelialisation. 3 In G3, vasorelaxation to THC was inhibited by high K+ buffer, and by the following K+ channel inhibitors: charybdotoxin (100 nM), apamin (500 nM) and barium chloride (30 microM), but not by 4-aminopyridine, glibenclamide or tertiapin. 4 In G3, THC (10 and 100 microM) inhibited the contractile response to Ca2+ in a Ca2+-free, high potassium buffer, indicating that THC blocks Ca2+ influx. 5 In G0, the vasoconstrictor responses to THC were inhibited by de-endothelialisation and SR141716A (100 nM), but not by the endothelin (ET (A)) receptor antagonist FR139317 (1 microM).THC (1 and 10 microM) antagonised vasorelaxation to anandamide in G3 but not G0.

These results indicated an increased adrenal catecholamine, angiotensin AT (1) and endothelin ET (A) activation of the phospholipase C-protein kinase C pathway in SHR, inhibiting the 4-aminopyridine-sensitive K+ channels.
