Abstract

Introduction: Elevated luminal homocysteine has been linked with cardiovascular disease; however, whether there is a direct effect of homocysteine on blood vessel endothelium is not clear. In this study, the acute effect of luminal homocysteine on iliac artery endothelial function was assessed in the anaesthetised pig.

Methods: Hyperhomocysteinaemic blood was injected into an occluded segment of the iliac in the anaesthetised pig for 20 min, and the effect on atrial diameter during the occlusion and during the reactive hyperaemia assessed.

Results: No significant changes in arterial diameter or pressure were observed during the incubation period at homocysteine concentrations of 10, 20, 40 and 100 µM. There was also no difference in the magnitude of the iliac diameter increase in the response to reactive hyperaemia when the incubation period was completed.

Conclusion: There is no evidence of endothelial dysfunction in response to an acute 20-min elevation in homocysteine in an intact conduit artery.

麻醉猪髂动脉腔内同型半胱氨酸急性升高后不会出现内皮功能障碍

导言：管腔同型半胱氨酸升高与心血管疾病有关，但同型半胱氨酸对血管内皮是否有直接影响尚不清楚。本研究评估了管腔同型半胱氨酸对麻醉猪髂动脉内皮功能的急性影响。方法：将高同型半胱氨酸血症血液注入麻醉猪髂动脉闭塞段 20 分钟，评估闭塞期间和反应性高血症期间对心房直径的影响：结果：在同型半胱氨酸浓度为 10、20、40 和 100 µM 的孵育期间，未观察到动脉直径或压力发生明显变化。孵育期结束后，髂骨直径在反应性高血症反应中的增加幅度也没有差异：结论：在完整的导管动脉中，没有证据表明同型半胱氨酸急性升高 20 分钟会导致内皮功能障碍。

期刊介绍： The ''Journal of Vascular Research'' publishes original articles and reviews of scientific excellence in vascular and microvascular biology, physiology and pathophysiology. The scope of the journal covers a broad spectrum of vascular and lymphatic research, including vascular structure, vascular function, haemodynamics, mechanics, cell signalling, intercellular communication, growth and differentiation. JVR''s ''Vascular Update'' series regularly presents state-of-the-art reviews on hot topics in vascular biology. Manuscript processing times are, consistent with stringent review, kept as short as possible due to electronic submission. All articles are published online first, ensuring rapid publication. The ''Journal of Vascular Research'' is the official journal of the European Society for Microcirculation. A biennial prize is awarded to the authors of the best paper published in the journal over the previous two years, thus encouraging young scientists working in the exciting field of vascular biology to publish their findings.
