Abstract

The goal of this study was to examine the effect of lipid emulsion on the vasodilation induced in isolated endothelium-denuded rat aortae by a toxic dose of amlodipine. We examined the effects of lipid emulsion and verapamil on amlodipine-induced vasodilation. We also examined the effects of a mixture of lipid emulsion and amlodipine, as well as the centrifuged aqueous extract (CAE) obtained by ultracentrifuging such a mixture and then removing the upper lipid layer, on amlodipine-induced vasodilation. The effect of lipid emulsion on the amlodipine concentration was examined. Lipid emulsion attenuated amlodipine-induced vasodilation in isolated aortae. Both CAE and lipid emulsion containing amlodipine inhibited amlodipine-induced vasodilation. However, there was no significant difference in amlodipine-induced vasodilation between aortae treated with CAE and those treated with lipid emulsion containing amlodipine. Verapamil inhibited amlodipine-induced vasodilation. Lipid emulsion decreased the concentration of amlodipine. Lipid emulsion attenuated the vasodilation induced by a toxic amlodipine dose in NaF-precontracted aortae. The data show that lipid emulsion inhibited the vasodilation induced by a toxic amlodipine dose in isolated rat aortae by reducing the concentration of amlodipine. Amlodipine-induced vasodilation seems to be mediated mainly by blockade of L-type calcium channels and partially by inhibition of the Rho-kinase pathway.
