Porcine findings require human validation before any clinical inference; leaves open translation of distinct NO pathways to coronary vasoreactivity.
This preclinical study elucidates the distinct endothelial NO-dependent and independent pathways mediating the vasoactive effects of acetylcholine, serotonin, and substance P in porcine coronary arteries.
Matsumoto et al. (1993) studied this question.
