摘要: The vascular endothelium releases a number of potent vasodilators including nitric oxide and prostacyclin as well the vasoconstrictors thromboxane A2 super anion. Endothelium-derived factors play an important role in autocrine/paracrine regulation tone. This chapter will focus on endothelin family peptides first described by Yanagisawa 1988 following his successful isolation vasoconstrictor peptide from (Yanagisawa et al. 1988).
