[Correction of endothelial dysfunction by L-arginine under experimental pre-eclampsia conditions].

The ADMA-like pre-eclampsia in pregnant rats was modeled by daily introduction of L-NAME in a dose of 25 mg/kg for 7 days. L-arginine (200 mg/kg) prevented the development of arterial hypertension and a decrease in placentary microcirculation and microalbuminuria. The possibility of using L-arginine for the prevention of competitive eNOS inhibition by ADMA is discussed.

Arginase inhibitor in the pharmacological correction of endothelial dysfunction.

THIS PAPER IS ABOUT A WAY OF CORRECTION OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION WITH THE INHIBITOR OF ARGINASE: L-norvaline. There is an imbalance between vasoconstriction and vasodilatation factors of endothelium on the basis of endothelial dysfunction. Among vasodilatation agents, nitrogen oxide plays the basic role.

Comparative study of potential endothelioprotectors and impaza in modeled nitric oxide deficiency.

Experimental NO deficiency induced by L-NAME injection led to the development of arterial hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and reduced blood content of nitrates and nitrites. Impaza, NO donors, activators of NO-synthase, antioxidants, and antihypertensive preparations produced endothelium-protective effect of different degree.

Correction of endothelial dysfunction with impaza preparation in complex with enalapril and losartan during modeling of NO deficiency.

Modeling of NO deficiency by administration of L-NAME to rats led to the development of arterial hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. Pronounced endothelium and cardioprotective effects of impaza under these experimental conditions manifested more markedly during combined administration of the preparation with standard hypotensive preparations enalapril and losartan.

[Pharmacological correction of experimental chronic limb ischemia].

In tests on a group of 250 rats, we studied (i) the level of microcirculation in the muscles of a healthy limb in the norm and (ii) the dynamics of microcirculation for 6 h after treatment with pentoxifylline in a dose of 60 mg/kg dose and L-arginine in a dose of 30 and 200 mg/kg. The chronic ischemia was modeled by excision of basic femoral artery. There was no significant difference in pentoxyfilline-treated animals in comparison to the control.

[Endothelioprotective properties of L-arginine in a nitric oxide deficiency model].

In laboratory animals with endothelial dysfunction (nitric oxide deficiency) modeled by the introduction of NO-synthase inhibitor L-NAME, the activation of endothelioprotective effects of enalapril, lozartan, amlodipine, indapamide and nebivolol is revealed for their introduction in combination with L-arginine. This result was confirmed by the behavior of a generalizing parameter, the coefficient of endothelial dysfunction (CED) calculated using the results of tests on endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation.

Effect of antioxidants pQ510 and resveratrol on regulatory function of the endothelium in rats with modeled arterial hypertension.

We studied the effects of antioxidants resveratrol and pQ510 on physiological parameters and the state of endothelial NO-synthase as a marker of the regulatory function of the endothelium in the aorta of rats with modeled arterial hypertension. The antioxidants promoted recovery of stable NO metabolites in rat serum and maintained expression of endothelial NO-synthase at a normal level. These effects were confirmed by correction of blood pressure and endothelium-dependent vascular dilation assessed by endothelial dysfunction coefficient.
