Blood pressure variability increases connexin expression in the vascular smooth muscle of ratsMatheus L Rocha
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo, Av do Cafe, S N, Ribeirao Preto, Brazil
Cardiovasc Res 80:123-30. 2008..Our aim was to verify the effects of SAD on connexin43 (Cx43) expression and phenylephrine-induced contraction in isolated aortas...
Relaxation evoked by extracellular Ca2+ in rat aorta is nerve-independent and involves sarcoplasmic reticulum and L-type Ca2+ channelMatheus L Rocha
Department of Physics and Chemistry, Laboratory of Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo, Av do Cafe S N, 14040 903, Ribeirao Preto, SP, Brazil
Vascul Pharmacol 50:98-103. 2009..The relaxing response to Ca2+ was impaired by verapamil and thapsigargin, revealing the importance of L-type Ca2+ channels and sarcoplasmic reticulum in this response...
Aortas isolated from sinoaortic-denervated rats exhibit rhythmic contractions that are regulated by pharmacologically distinct calcium sourcesMatheus L Rocha
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto, SP, Brazil
Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol 102:352-9. 2008..Moreover, drugs that impaired intracellular Ca(2+) release from sarcoplasmic reticulum interrupted the oscillations. The oscillations also depend on the extracellular Ca(2+) entry through L-type Ca(2+)...
Endothelial nitric oxide has inhibitory effects on rhythmic contractions in the aortas of sinoaortic deafferented ratsMatheus L Rocha
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto, Brazil
J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 50:510-8. 2007..Our results indicate that endothelium-derived NO (and not prostanoids), acting through the cGMP pathway, has an inhibitory effect on the oscillations...
Spontaneous oscillatory contractions in aortas of rats with arterial pressure lability caused by sinoaortic denervationMatheus L Rocha
Department of Physics and Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto, Brazil
Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol 34:708-13. 2007..The SOCs seem to be dependent on Ca(2+) influx sensitive to verapamil and also involve K(+) channels sensitive to pinacidil and TEA...
