May impair endothelial function in alcohol exposure; hypothesis-generating for hypertension pathogenesis and requires human validation.
Does ethanol infusion suppress endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in rat mesenteric vascular beds?
Prolonged ethanol exposure suppresses endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of alcohol-related vascular diseases such as hypertension.
Criscione et al. (1989) studied this question.
