Rho Kinase Enhances Contractions of Rat Mesenteric Collecting Lymphatics

The mechanisms that control phasic and tonic contractions of lymphatic vessels are poorly understood. We hypothesized that rho kinase ROCK, previously shown to increase calcium (Ca(2+)) sensitivity in vascular smooth muscle, enhances lymphatic contractile activity in a similar fashion. Contractions...
