Non-endothelial endothelin counteracts hypoxic vasodilation in porcine large coronary arteries

BACKGROUND: The systemic vascular response to hypoxia is vasodilation. However, reports suggest that the potent vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1) is released from the vasculature during hypoxia. ET-1 is reported to augment superoxide anion generation and may counteract nitric oxide (NO) vasodilati...
