Endothelium attenuates endothelin-1 potency via EDRF in rat aorta; hypothesis-generating for human vascular tone, should not change practice.
Endothelin-1 contractions in rat aorta are modulated by the endothelium, likely through enhanced release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF).
Topouzis et al. (1991) studied this question.
