    Notes: Abstract Effects of angiotensin II on ATP release were evaluated in segments and cultured smooth muscle cells from the guinea-pig taenia coli. In the segments, angiotensin II (0.3–3 μM) elicited release of ATP which was blocked by losartan and SC-52458, non-peptide angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1)-antagonists, but not by PD-123319, an AT2-antagonist. In superfused cultured cells, 10μM angiotensin II likewise elicited release of ATP Again the response was blocked by losartan and SC-52458 but not by PD-123319. These findings suggest that angiotensin II releases ATP from the smooth muscles by activation of angiotensin II-, presumably ATE1-, receptors.

    Notes: Abstract Aims. To study the effects of physiological concentrations of rat proinsulin C peptide I and II, respectively, on whole body glucose utilization in streptozotocin diabetic and healthy rats. Methods. A sequential insulin clamp procedure was used (insulin infusion rates 3.0 and 30.0 mU · kg–1· min–1) in awake animals. C-peptide infusion rates were 0.05 and 0.5 nmol · kg–1· min–1. Blood glucose was clamped at 7.7 ± 0.3 mmol/l in the diabetic rats and at 3.9 ± 0.1 mmol/l in the healthy rats. Results. In diabetic rats infused at lower rates of C peptide and insulin, glucose utilization increased by 79–90 % (p 〈 0.001) compared with diabetic animals infused with saline and insulin. Increasing the rate of C-peptide infusion tenfold did not elicit a statistically significant further increase in glucose utilization. C peptide I and II exerted similar effects. The metabolic clearance rate for glucose in the diabetic animals infused with C peptide was not different from that of the healthy rats. During high-dose insulin infusion (30.0 mU · kg–1· min–1) glucose utilization increased considerably and no statistically significant C-peptide effects were observed. About 85 % of the increase in glucose utilization induced by C peptide could be blocked by treatment with N-monomethyl-l-arginine. Conclusions/interpretation. Physiological concentrations of homologous C peptide stimulate whole body glucose utilization in diabetic but not in healthy rats. C peptide I and II elicit similar effects. The influence of C peptide on glucose utilization may be mediated by nitric oxide. [Diabetologia (1999) 42: 958–964]

    Zn-substitution effects on the normal optical conductivity and the superconducting gap (1996)

    Notes: Abstract The Zn-substitution effects on the c-axis optical spectra have been investigated for highly oxygenated YBa2 Cu3Oy crystals with y = 6.88 – 6.92. In the normal state, the Zn-substitution does not affect the high frequency conductivity but changes the ω-dependence of the scattering rate at low frequencies, leading to the increase in the dc resistivity in the c-direction. In the superconducting state, we observed a pronounced effect of Zn-substitution that a large number of unpaired carriers form a Drude-like absorption band within the gap, keeping the maximum gap amplitude unchanged. The missing area which gives the superfluid density is found to correlate with Tc.
