Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

AIM: To investigate the inhibition of endothelium-dependent in vitro vascular relaxation induced by the total saponins (gensenosides) from Panax notoginseng (PNS) and the effect of PNS on the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration on cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. METHODS: The endothelial-dependent vascular relaxation was assessed using acetylcholine (ACh) or cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) induced relaxation in endothelium-intact rat aorta. Cytosolic Ca2+ level was assessed in real time using dynamic digital fluorescence ratio imaging. RESULTS: In addition to its direct relaxation of the smooth muscle cells at high concentrations, PNS, at 100 mg/L having little effect on smooth muscle, caused a marked inhibition of endothelium-dependent relaxation brought about by PNS. This inhibitory effect was due to its inhibition of elevation of cytosolic Ca2+, which is required for the activation of NO generation and release from the vascular endothelial cells. Nifedipine has no effect on either the endothelium-dependent relaxation or the cytosolic Ca2+ level in the cultured endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: Our findings are consistent with the known action of PNS on receptor-operated Ca2+ channels and support our contention that PNS inhibits endothelium-dependent relaxation by preventing the increase of Ca2+ level in endothelial cells via the receptor-operated Ca2+ channels in the presence of ACh or the non-selective cation channels opened by CPA.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
