Endothelial TrkB receptor activation controls vascular tone of rat middle cerebral artery
2021, Vascular PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Supporting a control of vasomotion by circulating BDNF, serum BDNF levels were reported to negatively correlate with peripheral vascular resistances [28] and with blood pressure [29]. In accordance with previous studies [30,31], our data showed that the endothelium-derived factors NO, prostacyclin and EDHF contributed to the basal tone in rat MCA. The new finding provided here is that this basal tone is also dependent on endothelial-derived BDNF as evidenced by the constrictive effect of the TrkB antagonist cyclotraxin B in basal conditions.
