Endothelin (ET)-1, an endothelium-derived peptide, is the most potent vasoconstrictor agent
described to date. ET-1 also has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects in the heart and …

The volume of extracellular fluid (ECF) is maintained within narrow limits in normal human
subjects, despite day-to-day variations in dietary intake of salt and water over a wide range …

Endothelins (ET) are a family of potent vasoactive peptides that are produced from
biologically inactive intermediates, termed big endothelins, via a proteolytic processing at …

We investigated the gene expression and localization of endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor
subtypes ETA and ETB in the rat adrenal cortex as well as their involvement in the …

Increasing numbers of experimental investigations and recently also of clinical trials strongly
suggest an integral involvement of the endothelin (ET)‐system in the pathophysiology of a …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to elucidate the endothelin receptor subtypes
responsible for the endothelin-induced vasomotor responses of human cerebral arteries …

Endothelins (ETs) 2 are a family of endogenous peptides, mainly secreted by endothelial
cells, which exert a potent vasoconstrictor and pressor activity, acting through two classes of …

Interaction in the recognition of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a typical bivalent ET receptor-ligand,
between ET A and ET B receptors was investigated in the rat anterior pituitary gland, using …

Publisher Summary The intent of the present chapter is to emphasize information about the
pharmacology of endothelin (ET) receptor antagonists and work relating to investigations …
