The purpose of this study was to determine the cause of the loss of endothelium-dependent relaxation observed in chronic cerebral vasospasm. A bioassay system was developed to measure the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) from canine basilar arteries. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was induced in dogs by two injections of autologous blood into the cisterna magna. Angiograms were performed on the 7th day after SAH to check the presence of chronic vasospasm. The animals were… 
Reduced production of cGMP underlies the loss of endothelium-dependent relaxations in the canine basilar artery after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
TLDR
The data indicate that the altered endothelium-mediated relaxations of the smooth muscle after subarachnoid hemorrhage is due, at least in part, to an impaired activation of soluble guanylate cyclase leading to a reduced production of cGMP in the Smooth muscle.
The effect of chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage on basal endothelium-derived relaxing factor activity in intrathecal cerebral arteries.
TLDR
The findings support the view that adventitially applied hemoglobin can inhibit basal EDRF activity and that in vivo adventitial exposure to whole blood leads to a reduction in basal cGMP levels in association with vasoconstriction of intrathecal arteries.
Attenuation of experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage--induced cerebral vasospasm by the adenosine A2A receptor agonist CGS 21680.
TLDR
This is the first evidence that adenosine A2A receptor agonism is effective in preventing SAH-induced vasospasm without significant complications.
Pharmacological studies on relaxation of spastic primate cerebral arteries in subarachnoid hemorrhage.
TLDR
It seems that histamine mediates relaxation of intact MCA's mostly by an H1-receptor-mediated release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF).
Pharmacological studies on relaxation of spastic primate cerebral arteries in subarachnoid hemorrhage
TLDR
It seems that histamine mediates relaxation of intact MCA's mostly by an H-receptor-mediated release of endotheliumderived relaxing factor (EDRF), which influences both the generation of EDRF and the constriction of affected arteries.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Endothelial L‐Arginine Pathway in Small Brain Stem Arteries in Dogs
TLDR
It is suggested that in small arteries of the brain stem vasopressin causes relaxations by activation of the endothelial L-arginine pathway, which is selectively inhibited by subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Nitric oxide synthase and guanylate cyclase levels in canine basilar artery after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
TLDR
The reduced expression of soluble guanylate cyclase may be related to the impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilation in vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Modulatory role of endothelial and nonendothelial nitric oxide in 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced contraction in cerebral arteries after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
TLDR
The results suggest that cerebral arteries after SAH exhibit hyperreactivity to 5-HT via a mechanism that involves the absence of the modulatory role of endothelial NO, that SAH does not modify the modulation role of nonendothelial No, and that impairment of themodulatory action of endothelium NO on vascular responses to 4-hydroxytryptamine could contribute to the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm afterSAH.
Cerebrovascular effects of substance P after experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage
TLDR
The vasoactive effects of substance P (SP), as well as the content of cyclic guanine monophosphate (cGMP), were determined in the rabbit basilar artery after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), suggesting a link between impaired vaso active response to SP and decreased production of cGMP after SAH.

Alterations in endothelium-dependent responsiveness of the canine basilar artery subarachnoid hemorrhage.
TLDR
A significant correlation was observed between the degree of vasospasm determined angiographically and the loss of endothelium-dependent relaxation, which suggests that the deterioration in the endothelia-dependent responses may be an important component in the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasms.
Bioassay of endothelium-derived relaxing factor(s): inactivation by catecholamines.
TLDR
Observations indicate that an endothelium-derived relaxing substance is released into the lumen of the femoral artery under basal conditions and during stimulation with acetylcholine, which can inactivate the relaxing substance but do not prevent either its production by endothelial cells or its action on vascular smooth muscle.
Abluminal Release and Asymmetrical Response of the Rabbit Arterial Wall to Endothelium‐Derived Relaxing Factor
TLDR
EDRF in native endothelial cells is released in both luminal and abluminal directions and can penetrate the entire vascular wall, but the lengthy diffusion time and the decreasing sensitivity of outer smooth muscle layers suggest that mechanisms other than EDRF diffusion contribute significantly to the propagation of endothelium-mediated relaxation through the arterial wall.
Vasopressin Causes Endothelium‐Dependent Relaxations of the Canine Basilar Artery
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the endothelial cells mediate relaxation induced by vasopressin via specific Vi-vasopressedinergic receptors.
Impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilation induced by acetylcholine and adenosine triphosphate following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage.
TLDR
It is suggested that impairment of the endothelium-dependent vasodilation following SAH may be involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm.
Oxytocin causes endothelium-dependent relaxations of canine basilar arteries by activating V1-vasopressinergic receptors.
TLDR
Both oxytocin and vasopressin cause endothelium-dependent relaxation of the basilar artery by activating V1-vasopressInergic receptors; the contractions of femoral arteries that they cause also may be mediated in part by V1 -vasopressinginergic receptors.
Role of the intima in cholinergic and purinergic relaxation of isolated canine femoral arteries.
TLDR
These experiments demonstrate that in the canine femoral artery, relaxations induced by ACh, ADP and ATP require the presence of functional endothelial cells, which, when exposed to these substances, initiate an inhibitory signal for the smooth muscle cells of the media.
The nature of endothelium-derived vascular relaxant factor
TLDR
By using aortic preparations from the rabbit, alone and in cascade experiments with isolated perfused coronary preparations, it is demonstate definitively that EDRF is a humoral agent.
Selective hemoglobin inhibition of endothelium-dependent vasodilation of rabbit basilar artery.
TLDR
The results suggest that rabbit basilar artery has endothelium-dependent vasodilating mechanisms induced by ACh and ATP, and that hemoglobin selectively blocks the endot helium- dependent vasodilation.
Anoxic Contractions in Isolated Canine Cerebral Arteries: Contribution of Endothelium‐Derived Factors, Metabolites of Arachidonic Acid, and Calcium Entry
TLDR
Observations suggest that anoxic contractions of isolated canine basilar artery can be explained by the release of endothelium-derived contracting factor(s) and the accelerated entry of calcium in the smooth muscle cells, which possibly results from a diversion of arachidonic acid from the cyclooxygenase to the lipoxygen enzyme pathway.
