Endothelium‐derived relaxing and contracting factors
Endothelium‐dependent relaxation of blood vessels is produced by a large number of agents (e.g., acetylcholine, ATP and ADP, substance P, bradykinin, histamine, thrombin, seroto...
Nitric oxide-generating vasodilators and 8-bromo-cyclic guanosine monophosphate inhibit mitogenesis and proliferation of cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells.
Endothelium-derived relaxing factor has been recently identified as nitric oxide. The purpose of this study was to determine if vasodilator drugs that generate nitric oxide inhi...
Oxygen-derived free radicals, endothelium, and responsiveness of vascular smooth muscle
Experiments were designed to determine the role of oxygen-derived free radicals in modulating contractions of vascular smooth muscle and endothelium-mediated relaxations to acet...
Endothelium and control of vascular function. State of the Art lecture.
The response of isolated blood vessels to a variety of vasoactive agonists is modulated by the presence of endothelial cells. Indeed, these cells can release both dilator and co...
Biochemical Mechanisms Underlying Vascular Smooth Muscle Relaxation
Several classes of vasodilators have been demonstrated to elicit their affects by activating guanylate cyclase and elevating intracellular concentrations of cyclic GMP. The nitr...
