… By contrast, in arteries where the EDHF phenomenon depends on gap junctions, electrotonic
spread of endothelial hyperpolarization would be expected to close BK Ca channels, both …

… An alternative explanation for the EDHF phenomenon is that direct intercellular communication
via gap junctions allows passive spread of agonist-induced endothelial hyperpolarization …

… ATPase (20), (ii) enhanced electrical and chemical signaling via gap junctions (21, 22), and
(… By exploiting the dependence of EDHF-type responses on gap junctional communication it …

… To further delineate the roles of myoendothelial and smooth muscle gap junctions in the
EDHF phenomenon, we investigated the effects of ACh on smooth muscle membrane potential …

… the EDHF phenomenon is electrotonic in nature, and highlight the contribution of myoendothelial

… In some preparations, such as the rat hepatic and mesenteric arteries, gap junctions play
some role in the EDHF response. This phenomenon is nevertheless predominantly due to a …
