## Abstract Endothelin is a 21 amino acid peptide secreted by endothelial cells and is the most potent vasoconstrictor known. The present study examines regulatory mechanisms of endothelin secretion, focusing on the role of protein phosphorylation. Endothelin secretion was measured by radioimmunoas

Two important mediators of endothelium-dependent regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone and proliferation are nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET-1). An imbalance between NO and ET-1 may contribute to the alterations in vascular tone characteristic of cardiovascular disease. The objective of thi
Ca2+ entry induced by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) in neurons and by noradrenaline (NA) in astrocytes is known to increase intracellular cyclic GMP (cGMP) levels through stimulation of the Ca2+-dependent nitric oxide synthase type I (NOS-I). The possibility that Ca2+ entry could also down-regulate in
