Accumulation of immunoreactive material resembling prostaglandin Esurrogate
Angiotensin II stimulates prostaglandin E production in cultured human vascular endothelium, highlighting a potential mechanism for local control of vascular permeability and tone.
Resumen
Immunoreactive material resembling prostaglandin E accumulates in the medium of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Prodcution is inhibited by indomethacin and stimulated by angiotensin II. Prostaglandin secretion by endothelium may be important in platelet-dependent thrombotic phenomena, and in local control of vascular permeability and tone in vivo.
