| Abstract | 1. The effects were investigated of the ETA receptor antagonist, FR 139317, on endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced coronary vasoconstriction in the isolated perfused heart of the rabbit. In addition, this study examined whether FR 139317 reduced infarct size in a rabbit model of coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion. 2. In the rabbit isolated perfused heart, ET-1 (1-100 pmol) elicited a dose-dependent increase in coronary perfusion pressure (CPP). For example, 30 pmol ET-1 caused CPP to rise by 22 +/- 8 mmHg and 100 pmol ET-1 by 47 +/- 10 mmHg (n = 8). Infusion of FR 139317 (1 microM) significantly attenuated the increase in CPP caused by ET-1 (30 pmol: 3 +/- 1 mmHg, 100 pmol: 8 +/- 2 mmHg; n = 8). 3. In the anaesthetized rabbit, infarct size (expressed as a percentage of the area at risk) after 45 or 60 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 2 h of reperfusion was 47 +/- 6% (n = 6) and 55 +/- 7% (n = 5), respectively. A continuous infusion of FR 139317 (0.2 mg kg-1 min-1 preceded by a loading dose of 1.0 mg kg-1, i.v.; n = 5-6) had no effect on the extent of the myocardial infarct size (45 min: 47 +/- 6%; 60 min: 49 +/- 7%). Even a three-times higher dose (0.6 mg kg-1 min-1 preceded by a loading dose of 3 mg kg-1, i.v.; n = 4) of FR 139317 had no effect on myocardial infarct size (48 +/- 5%) after 45 min occlusion of the antero-lateral branch of the left coronary artery (LAL) and 2 h reperfusion.4. In a separate group of experiments, the LAL was occluded for 60 min and subsequently reperfused for 6 h. FR 139317 (0.6 mg kg-1 min-1 preceded by a loading dose of 3 mg kg-1, i.v.; n =4) had no significant effect on infarct size even in this long reperfusion model (control: 48 +/- 3%, FR 139317:61 +/- 6%).5. Thus, the vasoconstrictor effects elicited by ET-1 in the coronary vasculature of the rabbit are primarily mediated via the ETA receptor, for they were inhibited by the ETA receptor antagonist, FR 139317. However, an enhanced formation of endogenous ET-1 does not play a major role in ischaemia/reperfusion injury of the rabbit heart, for FR 139317 had no effect on infarct size. |

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.
