Vasodilation is a function within the circulatory system that occurs when the smooth muscles in the blood vessels relax, allowing the blood vessels to widen or dilate. This increases blood flow to ...
The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene is appealing in the search for genetic determinants of endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Smaller studies have investigated common genetic variation ...
In isolated perfused rabbit hearts, bradykinin produced a concentration-dependent decrease in coronary resistance directly associated with biosynthesis and release of prostaglandin-E-like substance.
