The mechanism behind the inhibitory effect of isoflurane on angiotensin II-induced vascular contraction is different from that of sevoflurane

A Ishikawa, K Ogawa, Y Tokinaga… - Anesthesia & …, 2007 - journals.lww.com
BACKGROUND: Angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vascular contraction is mediated both by a
Ca 2+-mediated signaling pathway and a Ca 2+ sensitization mechanism. We recently …

Sevoflurane Inhibits Angiotensin II–induced, Protein Kinase C–mediated but Not Ca2+-elicited Contraction of Rat Aortic Smooth Muscle

J Yu, Y Tokinaga, K Ogawa, S Iwahashi… - The Journal of the …, 2004 - pubs.asahq.org
Background Whether volatile anesthetics attenuate angiotensin II-mediated vascular tone
has not been determined. The current study was designed to investigate the effects of …

Propofol attenuates angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction by inhibiting Ca2+-dependent and PKC-mediated Ca2+ sensitization mechanisms

T Kuriyama, Y Tokinaga, K Tange, Y Kimoto… - Journal of …, 2012 - Springer

Isoflurane Alters Angiotensin II–Induced Ca2+Mobilization in Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells from Hypertensive Rats: Implication of Cytoskeleton

E Samain, H Bouillier, C Rucker-Martin… - The Journal of the …, 2002 - pubs.asahq.org
Background Angiotensin II (AngII) is a potent vasoconstrictor involved in the short-term
control of arterial blood pressure. Isoflurane was reported to decrease vascular tone through …

Sevoflurane inhibits angiotensin II-induced Rho kinase-mediated contraction of vascular smooth muscle from spontaneously hypertensive rat

N Uematsu, K Ogawa, Y Tokinaga, K Tange… - Journal of …, 2011 - Springer
Abstract Purpose Angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vasoconstriction is mediated by changes in
intracellular free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+] i) and myofilament Ca 2+ sensitivity. Protein …

The vascular relaxing effects of sevoflurane and isoflurane are more important in hypertensive than in normotensive rats

J Yu, K Ogawa, Y Tokinaga… - Canadian Journal of …, 2004 - search.proquest.com
The vascular response to anesthetics is altered in hypertensive patients since the functional
and structural integrities of vascular smooth muscle and endothelium are deranged. The …

Isoflurane-induced vasodilation: role of the α-adrenergic nervous system

DA Schwinn, RW McIntyre, JG Reves - Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1990 - journals.lww.com
Isoflurane is a potent systemic vasodilator. Because isoflurane vasodilation is clinically
significant, we sought to explore whether decreases in systemic vascular resistance caused …
