    • Tezosentan reduces the microvascular filtration coefficient in isolated lungs from rats subjected to cecum ligation and puncture 

      Kuklin, Vladimir N.; Sovershaev, Mikhail; Andreasen, Thomas; Skogen, Vegard; Ytrehus, Kirsti; Bjertnæs, Lars J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005-10-18)
      Introduction: We recently demonstrated that the non-selective endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor blocker tezosentan antagonizes ovine acute lung injury (ALI) following infusion of endotoxin or ET-1 by reducing the enhanced lung microvascular pressure, although we could not exclude the possibility of a simultaneous decline in microvascular permeability. In the present study, our aim was to find out if ...

    • Tezosentan-induced attenuation of lung injury in endotoxemic sheep is associated with reduced activation of protein kinase C 

      Ingebretsen, Ole C.; Kuklin, Vladimir N.; Kirov, Mikhail Y.; Sovershaev, Mikhail; Andreasen, Thomas; Ytrehus, Kirsti; Bjertnæs, Lars J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005-03-04)
      Introduction: Studies in vitro reveal that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates the α isoform of protein kinase C (PKC-α) in cultures of endothelial cells, thereby deranging cellular integrity. Sepsis and endotoxemia are associated with increased plasma concentrations of ET-1 that induce acute lung injury (ALI). We recently reported that non-selective ET-1 receptor blockade attenuates ALI in sheep by ...
