During postnatal adaptation pulmonary arteries dilate. CGRP and VIP are pulmonary vasodilators. In this report, porcine lungs from newborn to adult were studied. Radiolabeled ligand binding and autoradiography showed CGRP binding sites on the endothelium of pulmonary arteries and veins, which increased postnatally, and VIP binding sites on smooth muscle, which decreased. Isolated conduit arteries...
We studied the influence of sex on the adrenal catecholamine response to acute insulin-induced hypoglycemia in Sprague-Dawley rats. Eight male and seven female adult rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital, and a microdialysis probe was placed in the left adrenal. Dialyzed epinephrine and norepinephrine levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography during a control period and for...
BACKGROUND: Male rats have significantly greater adrenal catecholamine (CA) release than females exposed to equivalent degrees of acute hypoglycemia. OBJECTIVE: To determine if this sexual dimorphism in adrenal function is influenced by sex hormones. METHODS: Three groups of rats were studied: prepubertal males (M) and females (F); adult M and F castrated prepubertally; and adult M and F castrated...
