ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the vasodilating effect of capsaicin (CAP) on rat mesenteric artery and its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The third branch of the superior mesenteric artery in male Sprague-Dawley rat (250-350 g) was excised, the periadventitial fat and connective tissue were removed and the mesenteric artery was dissected into 2 mm rings. Each ring was placed in a 5 ml organ bath of DMT 610M system and the tension was recorded.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>CAP (10(-9)-10(-5) mol/L) relaxed endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded mesenteric artery pre-constricted by phenylephrine (10(-5) mol/L), and the vasodilation in endothelium-intact mesenteric artery was stronger than that in endothelium-denuded one. Pretreatment with either L-NAME (3 X10(-4) mol/L), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase(NOS), or CGRP8-37 (2 X 10(-6) mol/L), an antagonist of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), for 30 min significantly attenuated the relaxation of endothelium-intact mesenteric artery induced by CAP. CGRP (10(-10)-3 X10(-8) mol/L) relaxed endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded mesenteric artery pre-constricted by phenylephrine, and the vasodilation in endothelium-intact mesenteric artery was stronger than that in endothelium-denuded one. Substance P did not relax the mesenteric artery pre-constricted by phenylephrine.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>CAP has partial endothelium-dependent relaxation effect on rat mesenteric artery, which may be mediated by activating the endothelial NOS-NO pathway. The endothelium-independent relaxation in rat mesenteric artery induced by CAP may be mediated by CGRP.</p>
