Tension of thoracic aortae from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) was measured in an organ bath under control conditions and at two levels of hypoxia. In WKY rats, mild and severe hypoxia produced relaxation of the aortae (precontracted with phenylephrine) by 33\u00b14% and 82\u00b13%, respectively (mean\u00b1SEM). Removal of endothelium or administration of<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>G<\/jats:sup>-nitro-<jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>-arginine (10<jats:sup>\u22124<\/jats:sup>mol\/L), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, abolished relaxation of the aortae in response to mild hypoxia but did not affect relaxation during severe hypoxia. Glibenclamide (10<jats:sup>\u22126<\/jats:sup>mol\/L), an inhibitor of potassium channels, attenuated relaxation of the aortae during mild and severe hypoxia by 49\u00b116% and 74\u00b14%, respectively. In SHRSP, mild hypoxia produced little relaxation of the aortae (3\u00b14%,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;.05 compared with WKY). Indomethacin did not increase relaxation to mild hypoxia in SHRSP, which suggests that a cyclooxygenase-derived contracting factor does not contribute to impaired relaxation. Severe hypoxia relaxed the aortae by 86\u00b14% in SHRSP, and glibenclamide inhibited this response by 60\u00b19%. These findings suggest that relaxation of the aorta in response to mild hypoxia in WKY rats is mediated primarily by endothelium-derived relaxing factor, and the response to mild hypoxia is markedly impaired in SHRSP. In contrast, relaxation during severe hypoxia is mediated, in large part, by activation of glibenclamide-sensitive potassium channels, and the response to severe hypoxia is preserved in SHRSP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.hyp.25.4.735","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:24:03Z","timestamp":1339460643000},"page":"735-738","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Relaxation of the Aorta During Hypoxia Is Impaired in Chronically Hypertensive Rats"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Hisao","family":"Taguchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Internal Medicine (H.T., F.M.F., T.K., D.D.H.) and Pharmacology (F.M.F., D.D.H.), the Cardiovascular Center, and the Center on Aging, University of Iowa College of Medicine and Veterans Administration Medical Center (D.D.H.), Iowa City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank M.","family":"Faraci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Internal Medicine (H.T., F.M.F., T.K., D.D.H.) and Pharmacology (F.M.F., D.D.H.), the Cardiovascular Center, and the Center on Aging, University of Iowa College of Medicine and Veterans Administration Medical Center (D.D.H.), Iowa City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takanari","family":"Kitazono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Internal Medicine (H.T., F.M.F., T.K., D.D.H.) and Pharmacology (F.M.F., D.D.H.), the Cardiovascular Center, and the Center on Aging, University of Iowa College of Medicine and Veterans Administration Medical Center (D.D.H.), Iowa City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Donald D.","family":"Heistad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Internal Medicine (H.T., F.M.F., T.K., D.D.H.) and Pharmacology (F.M.F., D.D.H.), the Cardiovascular Center, and the Center on Aging, University of Iowa College of Medicine and Veterans Administration Medical Center (D.D.H.), Iowa City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1113\/jphysiol.1991.sp018794"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"H974","volume":"266","year":"1994","unstructured":"Yang BC, Mehta JL.
