dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to ascertain the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) treatment on relaxant responses of acetylcholine (ACh) and isoprenaline (ISO) in aortic rings precontracted with serotonin (5-HT, 10(-6) M) obtained from streptozotocin (STZ) -induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in the rats by 50 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) via an intraperitoneal injection. Rat body and aorta weights were measured. The isometric tension to ACh (10(-9)-3 X 10(-6) M) and ISO (10(-9)-10(-4) M) of 5-HT-precontracted diabetic and non-diabetic rat (control), diabetic-ALA-treated, and ALA-treated aortas, in organ baths were recorded. Six weeks after STZ treatment blood glucose was elevated compared to control rats. In aortic rings from diabetic rats ACh and ISO-induced relaxations were impaired whereas endotheliumin-dependent relaxation to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was unaffected. ALA (100 mg/kg/day) treatment for 5 weeks enhanced ACh and ISO-induced relaxation in diabetic aortas. This recovering effect was via NO because prevented by incubating the vessels with N-G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, a NOS inhibitor). It may be assumed that ALA treatment in vivo, can protect against impaired vascular responsiveness in STZ-induced diabetic rats. | en_US |
