Should not change clinical practice; hypothesis-generating for endothelium-derived factors in vascular tone.
Endothelin-1 and nitric oxide modulate norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction in rat tail arteries, suggesting an endothelium-derived vasoconstriction-enhancing factor accumulates in perfusion fluid.
Reid et al. (1991) studied this question.
