| Abstract | 1. The isolated superior mesenteric arterial bed of the rat, perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 10 microM indomethacin, was used to study the effects of reducing dissolved O2 tension on the pressor responses to endothelin-1, endothelin-3 and sarafotoxin S6b. The modulation of these responses by the endothelium was investigated by removing the intima with the detergent CHAPS and, for endothelin-1, by inhibiting nitric oxide production with N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). Comparison was made with the effects of lowering O2 tension on the pressor responses to noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine. 2. Lowering the perfusate O2 tension from 551 +/- 2 mmHg to 14.0 +/- 0.5 mmHg did not change the ED50 for endothelin-1 but its maximal responses (Rmax) were increased by 2.1 and 2.7 fold, respectively, in the presence and absence of endothelium. The Rmax values for endothelin-3 were also greater in hypoxia either in the presence (by 2.3 fold) or absence of the endothelium (by 1.6 times) but those for sarafotoxin S6b were only enhanced significantly by hypoxia in the absence of the intima. hypoxia reduced the potencies of endothelin-3 and sarafotoxin S6b whether or not endothelium was present. 3. Endothelial destruction, whether in hypoxic or oxygenated conditions, increased the Rmax values for endothelin-1 and endothelin-3; at both O2 tensions those for endothelin-3 increased more than those for endothelin-1. The ED50 for endothelin-1 was unchanged by destroying the endothelium but endothelin-3 was less potent in the absence of an endothelium than in its presence.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
