Epileptic seizures typically result in delayed neuronal loss secondary to the initial damage
and an up-regulation in connexin43 (Cx43). This study investigated the role of Cx43 gap …

Gap junctions interconnect vascular cells homocellularly, thereby allowing the spread of
signals along the vessel wall, which serve to coordinate vessel behavior. In addition, gap …

Evidence against potassium as an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor in rat mesenteric
small arteries - PMC Back to Top Skip to main content NIH NLM Logo Access keys NCBI …

Local haemodynamic forces acting on the endothelium modulate vascular tone through
mechanisms that normalize intimal shear stress. This flow‐dependent diameter response …

We have examined the effects of ouabain (1 mM), the gap junction inhibitors, 18α-
glycyrrhetinic acid (100 μM), N-(piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2, 4-dichlorophenyl)-4 …

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 …

Intracellular Ca2+ transients were identified in endothelial cells (ECs) in intact blood-
perfused arterioles. ECs in cremaster muscle arterioles (diameter∼ 45 μm) in anesthetized …

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that appears after 20 weeks of gestation and is
characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, affecting both mother and offspring. The …

Characterization of the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) response in the
human interlobar artery. Background In addition to nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin (PGI 2) …

Electrical communication and its role in blood flow regulation are built on an examination of
charge movement in single, isolated vessels. How this process behaves in broader arterial …
