| Abstract | 1. The effect of step augmentation of flow rate on the level of adenosine -5'-triphosphate (ATP) measured in the Krebs perfusate was investigated, and the effect of glibenclamide on the release of ATP was tested in the rat pulmonary vascular bed. 2. For flow rates between 10.38 +/- 1.18 and 28.88 +/- 2.08 ml min-1 (n = 8) 1 microM suramin, a P2-purinoceptor antagonist, significantly (P < 0.05) increased vascular resistance under conditions of step augmentation of flow rate. This suggests that endogenous ATP released during increases in flow rate dilates pulmonary vessels. 3. In response to a step augmentation in flow rate from 9.13 +/- 0.97 to 18.3 +/- 1.69 ml min-1 (n = 4) ATP levels were up to 23 fold higher (P < 0.05) for 15 s, and gradually dropped to a level of about half the initial rise. Once the ATP levels had stabilized, another step augmentation of flow rate to 27.00 +/- 3.49 ml min-1 was able to evoke a corresponding increase of ATP release. The ability of the vascular bed to respond with increased ATP release after the initial ATP responses had tapered, demonstrates that the drop in ATP levels after the initial rise is not due to depletion of ATP. Furthermore, the maximal ATP response directly precedes the vasodilatation observed following each jump in perfusion pressure produced with each step increase in flow rate. 4. In response to two 3 fold step augmentations of flow rate (8.41-27.29 ml min-1) spaced 30 min apart there were two increases in the level of ATP which were not significantly different from each other.However, perfusion with 1 microM glibenclamide between the first and the second step augmentation of flow rate (8.08-24.67 ml min-1) significantly (P<0.05; n = 6) blocked the increase in ATP release. This suggests that the release of intracellular ATP is mediated by glibenclamide-sensitive K+ channels.5. A concentration of 1 microM glibenclamide perfused for 30 min was without effect on vascular pressure at constant flow. However, under conditions where flow was augmented in a stepwise manner (between 11.50 and 36.45 ml min-1) perfusing with 1 microM glibenclamide increased vascular resistance (P <0.10).6. It is concluded that flow-induced ATP release is mediated by a glibenclamide-sensitive K+ channel,and that the release of ATP from endothelial cells probably functions to vasodilate the pulmonary vascular bed of the rat. |

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.
