Myoendothelial coupling involving gap junctions and a balance between NO and endothelin-1 provides feedback control of arterial smooth muscle reactivity, particularly in distal resistance arteries.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Gap junction-mediated myoendothelial feedback may modulate resistance artery reactivity; leaves open relevance to human hypertension or vasomotor disease.
Hilgers et al. (2009) studied this question.
