Background and Purpose-Stimulation of P-2u purinoceptors by UTP on endothelium dilates the rat middle cerebral artery (MCA) through the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor/nitric oxide (EDRF/NO) and an unknown relaxing factor, The purpose of this study was to determine whether this unknown relaxing factor is endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF).Methods-Rat MCAs were isolated, cannulated, pressurized, and luminally perfused. UTP was added to the luminal perfusate to elicit dilations.Results-Resting outside diameter of the MCAs in one study was 209+/-7 mu m (n = 10). The MCAs showed concentration dependent dilations with UTP administration. Inhibition of NO synthase with N-G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (1 mu mol/L to 1 mmol/L) did not diminish the maximum response to UTP but did shift the concentration-response curve to the right, Scavenging NO with hemoglobin (1 or 10 mu mol/L) or inhibition of guanylate cyclase with ODQ (1 or 10 mu mol/L) had effects on the UTP-mediated dilations similar to those of L-NAME. In the presence of L-NAME, dilations induced by 10 mu mol/L UTP were accompanied by 13+/-2 mV (P
