Impaired dilation of skeletal muscle microvessels to reduced oxygen tension in diabetic obese Zucker rats

Jefferson C. Frisbee

Department of Physiology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226

This study determined alterations to hypoxic dilation of isolated skeletal muscle resistance arteries (gracilis arteries; viewed via television microscopy) from obese Zucker rats (OZR) compared with lean Zucker rats (LZR). Hypoxic dilation was reduced in OZR compared with LZR. Endothelium removal and cyclooxygenase inhibition (indomethacin) severely reduced this response in both groups, although nitric oxide synthase inhibition (Nomega -nitro-L-arginine methyl ester) reduced dilation in LZR only. Treatment of vessels with a PGH2-thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist had no effect on hypoxic dilation in either group. Arterial dilation to arachidonic acid, iloprost, acetylcholine, and sodium nitroprusside was reduced in OZR versus LZR, although dilation to forskolin and aprikalim was unaltered. Treatment of arteries from OZR with oxidative radical scavengers increased dilation to hypoxia and agonists, with no effect on responses in LZR. The restored hypoxic dilation in OZR was abolished by indomethacin. These results suggest that hypoxic dilation of skeletal muscle microvessels from LZR represents the summated effects of prostanoid and nitric oxide release, whereas the impaired response of vessels in OZR may reflect scavenging of PGI2 by superoxide anion.
