Coronary vascular endothelial cells control vascular tone by modulating the local concentration of circulating vasoactive substances (e.g. adenine nucleotides, biogenic amines and bradykinin) and by synthesising and releasing the vasoactive autacoids nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin (PGI2). The fl

We have previously shown that myosin-specific phosphatase 1 (PPase 1) activity is critical for maintaining endothelial cell barrier function (Verin et al. [1995] Am. J. Physiol. 269:L99-L108). To further characterize myosin-specific PPase 1 in endothelium, we generated antibodies specific to publish
Complex interactions among constituents of blood and components of the vessel wall are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its subsequent thrombotic complications. Alterations in the endothelium are central both to the slowly progressive process of atherogenesis and to the acute even
Increased basal epicardial tone may attenuate the coronary flow reserve (CFR) by causing vasodilatation of resistance vessels. We examined the effect of basal epicardial tone on the endothelium-independent CFR measurements in subjects with nonobstructive coronary disease. Patients underwent evaluati
