Left atrial pacing dilated arterioles (12\u00b12%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05) and small arteries (8\u00b13%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05) and also increased CBV (68\u00b19%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05). L-NAME abolished CBV increases caused by acetylcholine (10 and 100 ng \u00b7 kg\n            <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n            \u00b7 min\n            <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n            IC; 53\u00b133% and 168\u00b182% versus \u221212\u00b115% and \u22121\u00b114%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05) but not papaverine. Small arteries were constricted by L-NAME (\u22128\u00b12%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05), arterioles were dilated (10\u00b14%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05), and CBV was unchanged. After L-NAME, adenosine failed to dilate arterioles further (3\u00b13% and 2\u00b12%;\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05 versus prior responses), and CBV changes were attenuated (14\u00b116% and 8\u00b113%;\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05 versus prior responses). Pacing also failed to dilate arterioles (\u22124\u00b12%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05 versus prior response), resulting in an attenuated CBV change (34\u00b113%,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.05 versus prior response). The possibility that adenosine stimulates NO release in canine coronary arterioles was investigated in isolated arterioles (diameters, 81\u00b14 \u03bcm; n=8). Adenosine caused dose-dependent dilation to maximal diameter, which was unaffected by inhibition of NO synthesis by L-NAME.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            Inhibition of NO synthesis attenuates coronary dilation during adenosine infusions and during pacing-induced increases in metabolic demand. Inhibition of NO synthesis may shift the major site of coronary resistance into small arteries through autoregulatory adjustments in arterioles. These data therefore suggest that NO, by dilating predominantly small coronary arteries, promotes metabolic coronary dilation by preserving the tone and vasodilator reserve of arterioles.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.91.6.1807","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:34:42Z","timestamp":1339461282000},"page":"1807-1813","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":150,"title":["Role of Nitric Oxide in the Coronary Microvascular Responses to Adenosine and Increased Metabolic Demand"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Christopher J.
