Abstract
We compared agonist-evoked responses in the perfused mesenteric, vascular bed (UVB) of streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats 2 and 14 weeks after induction of diabetes. Endothelin-1 (ET-1), methoxamine (MTX)-, and KCl-evoked vasoconstrictor responses were unchanged in 2-week-old diabetic rats. In contrast, both the sensitivity (P < 0.01) and the maximal vasoconstrictor responses (P < 0.05) to ET-1 were attenuated in 14-week-old diabetic rats, whereas endothelin plasma levels were increased (P < 0.05). Although no differences were observed in responses to KCl in either the 2- or 14-week-old diabetic groups, MTX-evoked maximal responses were attenuated in the 14-week-old group (P < 0.01). Changes in agonist-evoked responses in the 14-week-old diabetic group were unaffected by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, staurosporine, the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, U73122, the calcium channel blocker, nifedipine, the calcium pump inhibitor, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), or by endothelial denudation. Sodium fluoride (NaF), an activator of guanosine triphosphate binding proteins, (G proteins) normalized the responses in the 14-week-old diabetic group. These data suggest that advanced stages of STZ are associated with alterations in G protein receptor coupling and/or activity leading to the attenuation of responses to vasoconstrictor agonists.
