Journal ArticleDOI
Attenuation of endothelium-dependent relaxation in aorta from diabetic rats
TL;DR: Diabetes leads to an impairment of the endothelium-dependent relaxation of aorta, and the relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside in diabetic preparations was comparable to the control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superoxide dismutase recovers altered endothelium-dependent relaxation in diabetic rat aorta.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the transient nature of the endothelium-dependent relaxation is more marked in diabetic rat aorta as a result of an enhanced accumulation of superoxide anion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digoxin-diltiazem interaction

TL;DR: Although the ability and safety of Valsalva maneuver contrast echo to diagnose paradoxical embolization has not been established, it appears to be a reasonable method for establishing the presence or absence of a functional intracardiac communication.
Journal Article
Increased contractile responses to endothelin-1 and U46619 via a protein kinase C-mediated nifedipine-sensitive pathway in diabetic rat aorta.
TL;DR: It is suggested that chronic diabetes enhances aortic contractions induced by ET-1 and U46619 and the enhanced contractions are possibly due to an increased Ca2+ influx through transmembraneCa2+ channels resulting from increased protein kinase C-activated process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attenuated contractile response of diabetic rat aorta to caffeine but not to noradrenaline in Ca2+-free medium
TL;DR: The results suggest that the ability of caffeine, but not of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, to mobilize Ca2+ from intracellular stores is impaired in diabetic rat aorta.
