Do third-generation β-blockers (nebivolol and carvedilol) stimulate nitric oxide release from endothelial cells?
Nebivolol and carvedilol induce relaxation of renal glomerular microvasculature via ATP efflux and NO release from endothelial cells.
These results demonstrate for the first time that nebivolol and carvedilol induce relaxation of renal glomerular microvasculature through ATP efflux with consequent stimulation of P2Y-purinoceptor-mediated NO release from GECs.
Kalinowski et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
