| Abstract | 1. We have proposed that contractile tension of the ductus arteriosus is sustained by a cytochrome P450-linked mechanism acting as a limiting step in the synthesis of endothelin-1 (ET-1). In the present study, we have used the isolated ductus from near-term foetal lambs and guinea-pigs to investigate the effect on both muscle tone and ET-1 formation of 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT), a suicide substrate for mono-oxygenase reactions. 2. ABT relaxed the lamb ductus at rest (2.5% O2) and during the oxygen contraction (15 to 95% O2). The effect was seen at 40 microM, and at 0.8 mM active tone was almost completely abolished. ABT (1 mM) also reversed the oxygen contraction in the guinea-pig ductus. 3. In the lamb ductus, the ABT response was not affected by removal of the endothelium or by treatment with 2.8 microM indomethacin (at 2.5% O2) and the ensuing contraction. 4. At both low and high concentration, ABT relaxed marginally, or not at all, the potassium-contracted (55 mM) ductus from either species. 5. ET-1 release from either the intact or endothelium-denuded lamb ductus tended to decrease in the presence of ABT (1 mM), whilst during the same treatment cyclic GMP content of the tissue remained unchanged. 6. We conclude that ABT relaxation is due to suppression of a contractile mechanism and not to activation of prostaglandin- and NO-mediated relaxing mechanisms. This contractile mechanism has a cytochrome P450-based mono-oxygenase reaction as a key component. |

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.
