Endothelium-dependent Hyperpolarization-Mediated Relaxation Pathway in Bovine Mesenteric Lymph Nodes

Abstract:
Endothelium-dependent relaxation mechanisms have been studied in phenylephrine-precontracted capsules of bovine mesenteric lymph nodes studied in vitro. Tetraethylammonium chloride and TRAM-34 in a solution with L-NAME and Indomethacin, which suppress the production NO and prostacyclin of endothelium, increased the tone of the lymph nodes. We believe that in bovine mesenteric lymph nodes, the dilation mechanism is mediated by hyperpolarization of the endothelium, which is associated with activation of large- and intermedium conductance Ca2+-activated potassium channels.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open....
