ETA antagonism may lower BP via conductance in salt-sensitive models; leaves open human translation.
Does BMS-182874 alter blood pressure, cardiac output, and total peripheral conductance in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats?
In DOCA-salt hypertensive rats, ETA receptor antagonism lowers blood pressure primarily by increasing total peripheral conductance rather than altering cardiac output.
Yu et al. (1998) studied this question.
