Astrocytes are known to possess an effective endothelin (ET) eliminatory system which involves astrocytic ET A and ET B receptors and may become particularly relevant under pathophysiological conditions. The present study has therefore been designed to explore the effect of standardized hypoxia on e

Portal hypertension (PHT) is characterized by increased portal pressure caused in part by a reduction in mesenteric vascular resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of endothelin (ET) and specific ET receptors in maintaining the vasculopathy of PHT. PHT was created in Sprague-Dawl

## Abstract Endothelin receptor B (Ednrb) plays a critical role in the development of melanocytes and neurons and glia of the enteric nervous system. These distinct neural crest‐derived cell types express Ednrb and share the property of intercalating into tissues, such as the intestine whose muscle
