Endothelium-dependent contraction via COX products in rat aorta is hypothesis-generating; leaves open relevance to human vascular tone or therapy.
(-)-Bay k 8644 induces contraction in rat aorta by releasing an endothelium-derived contractant factor, likely a cyclo-oxygenase product.
Lawson et al. (1989) studied this question.
