ACh-induced microvessel dilation is predominantly mediated by EDHF through KCa channel activation and subsequent decrease in smooth muscle calcium, whereas NO dilates microvessels in a calcium-independent manner.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Animal microvessel data warrant no clinical change in vasodilator therapy; leaves open EDHF-KCa translation to human vessels.
Bolz et al. (1999) studied this question.
