| Abstract | 1. The effect of chronic exposure of cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells to eicosapentaenoic acid on the release of indomethacin-insensitive relaxing factor(s) was investigated (a) under bioassay conditions using preconstricted canine coronary artery rings without endothelium and (b) by the measurement of guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) content of endothelial cells. 2. Exposure of endothelial cells for 8-10 days to eicosapentaenoic acid (2.5 x 10(-5) M) did not affect the relaxing activity of the perfusate from unstimulated endothelial cells. 3. The treatment with eicosapentaenoic acid significantly increased the relaxation of the bioassay ring observed upon stimulation of the endothelial cells with adenosine diphosphate (3 x 10(-8) M to 3 x 10(-4) M) and, to a lesser extent with bradykinin (10(-8) to 3 x 10(-8) M), while the relaxing activity evoked by the calcium ionophore A23187 (3 x 10(-7) M) was not affected. Neither acetylcholine (10(-6) M) nor 5-hydroxytryptamine (10(-6) M) stimulated the release of relaxing factor(s) from control or eicosapentaenoic acid-treated endothelial cells. 4. Bradykinin (10(-7) M), adenosine diphosphate (3 x 10(-5) M), the calcium ionophore A23187 (10(-6) M) and nitric oxide (2 x 10(-6) M) stimulated haemoglobin-sensitive increases in cyclic GMP content of porcine endothelial cells which were unaffected by prior chronic exposure to eicosapentaenoic acid. 5. These results suggest that chronic exposure of porcine aortic endothelial cells to eicosapentaenoic acid increases the release of relaxing factor(s) in response to activation of membrane-associated receptors for purines and kinins. The lack of effect of eicosapentaenoic acid treatment on agonist-stimulated production of cyclic GMP suggests that the enhanced relaxation observed under bioassay conditions is not due to an increased production of nitric oxide. |

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.
