We have compared the contributions of gap junctional communication and chemical
signaling via H2O2 to NO-independent relaxations evoked by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 …

A synthetic connexin-mimetic peptide (Gap 27 peptide) was used to evaluate the
contribution of gap junctional communication to smooth muscle responses mediated by the …

Two synthetic peptide inhibitors of gap junctional communication have been used to
compare the contribution of direct cell–cell coupling to acetylcholine-induced relaxations of …

1 The contribution of gap junctions to endothelium‐dependent relaxation was investigated in
isolated rabbit conduit artery preparations pre‐constricted by 10 μM phenylephrine (PhE). 2 …

NO-and prostanoid-independent relaxations are generally assumed to be mediated by an
endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) that has been postulated to be an …

An endothelium‐derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) that is distinct from nitric oxide (NO)
and prostanoids has been widely hypothesized to hyperpolarize and relax vascular smooth …

We have investigated the role of cAMP in nitric oxide (NO)-and prostanoid-independent
vascular relaxations evoked by acetylcholine (ACh) in isolated arteries and perfused ear …

We have investigated the role of cAMP in NO-and prostanoid-independent relaxations that
are widely attributed to an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). Under …

Although an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) has often been
hypothesized to underpin vascular relaxations that are independent of nitric oxide (NO) and …

Key points Gap junctions are important for coordination and transfer of signals between
cells. Signals initiated in the vascular endothelium can spread through myoendothelial gap …
