No immediate clinical implications; extends porcine mechanistic insights but leaves the factor's identity and human relevance open.
Hypoxic dilatation in porcine small coronary arteries is endothelium-dependent and mediated by the activation of smooth muscle KATP channels via an unidentified endothelium-derived factor distinct from NO or prostacyclin.
Liu et al. (1997) studied this question.
