Oxygen sensors in vascular smooth muscle
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1994Inhibition or activation of cellular function due to acute decreases in PO2 can be considered in terms of two different processes: 1) a sensor that monitors PO2 decreases and 2) transduction systems directed from the O2 sensor to reactions that control cellular function.

Mechanics of Vascular Smooth Muscle.
Comprehensive Physiology, 2015Vascular smooth muscle (VSM; see Table 1 for a list of abbreviations) is a heterogeneous biomaterial comprised of cells and extracellular matrix. By surrounding tubes of endothelial cells, VSM forms a regulated network, the vasculature, through which oxygenated blood supplies specialized organs, permitting the development of large multicellular ...

Electrophysiology of Vascular Smooth Muscle
1989This chapter provides an overview of the electrophysiology of vascular smooth muscle and of how the actions of some vasoactive substances are mediated by changes in electrical properties of the cell membrane. Emphasis is given to the role of the Ca2+ ion and to the action of inhibitor drugs.

Effect of angiotensin on vascular smooth muscles
Pfl�gers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 1969The response of vascular smooth muscle to angiotensin has been studied on helical strips of canine coronary, renal, and carotid arteries and on strips of the thoracic aorta from guinea pigs and rats.

Activation of cPLA2 in Vascular Smooth Muscle
1999Force regulation in vascular smooth muscle is under the control of a variety of lipid-dependent second messengers, such as inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate and diacylglycerol (Hashimoto et al.,1986; Gu et al., 1991). Our laboratory has demonstrated that norepinephrine can induce force in rat tail artery via the stimulation of IP3 production and the ...

MicroRNA and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
2011Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exhibit extraordinary plasticity during postnatal development. Vascular injury initiates VSMC phenotypic switch from the contractile to proliferative phenotype, which plays a central role in vascular lesion formation and diverse vascular diseases.

Mechanics of vascular smooth muscle contraction
Experientia, 1975Die Beziehung zwischen passiven und aktiven Lange-Spannungsdiagrammen isolierter glatter Gefassmuskeln und Druck-Diameter- oder “stress-strain”-Kurven intakter Gefasse wird diskutiert. Diese Relationen werden auch mit Hinsicht auf statische, inkrementale Elastizitatsmodulen von dilatierten und konstringierten Gefassen behandelt.

Effects of capsaicin on vascular smooth muscle
Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 1986Acute administration of capsaicin in vitro produced either vascular smooth muscle contraction (cat middle cerebral artery) or smooth muscle relaxation (guinea pig carotid artery and thoracic aorta). Prior in vivo treatment with capsaicin abolished the relaxation response of guinea pig vessels to acute capsaicin.
