Animal evidence of EDHF compensation in eNOS deficiency; leaves open human microvascular relevance.
In the absence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) synthesized via cytochrome P-450 compensates to mediate acetylcholine-induced vasodilation in skeletal muscle arterioles.
Huang et al. (2000) studied this question.
