  • Title: Mesenteric vascular responses to i.v. administration of lipoxin A4 and lipoxin B4 in the conscious rat.
    Author: Feuerstein G, Siren AL.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1988 May 09; 232(1):51-5. PubMed ID: 3366247.
    Abstract:
    Lipoxin A4 and lipoxin B4 are newly discovered lipoxygenase-interacting products of leukocytes which might have a role in cardiovascular events associated with anaphylaxis. We have tested this possibility by systemic administration of both LXA4 and LXB4 to the conscious rat while monitoring systemic and regional hemodynamic changes. LXA4 and LXB4 (1-100 micrograms/kg) produced dose-dependent constriction of the mesenteric vessels, up to +123 +/- 23% and +50 +/- 9% for LXA4/B4, respectively. Dose-related changes were not observed in arterial blood pressure, heart rate, renal (LXB4) and hindquarter blood flow. We suggest that LXA4 and LXB4 might affect selective vascular beds, such as the mesenteric vessels, and contribute to variations in blood flow in specific pathophysiological states.
