EDH: endothelium‐dependent hyperpolarization and microvascular signalling

CJ Garland, KA Dora - Acta Physiologica, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Endothelium‐dependent hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) is a powerful vasodilator influence in
small resistance arteries and thus an important modulator of blood pressure and flow. As the …

Endothelium‐dependent smooth muscle hyperpolarization: do gap junctions provide a unifying hypothesis?

TM Griffith - British journal of pharmacology, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
An endothelium‐derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) that is distinct from nitric oxide (NO)
and prostanoids has been widely hypothesized to hyperpolarize and relax vascular smooth …

Sympathetic and sensory-motor nerves in peripheral small arteries

C Aalkjær, H Nilsson, JGR De Mey - Physiological reviews, 2021 - journals.physiology.org
Small arteries, which play important roles in controlling blood flow, blood pressure, and
capillary pressure, are under nervous influence. Their innervation is predominantly …

Rhythmicity in arterial smooth muscle

RE Haddock, CE Hill - The Journal of physiology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Many arteries and arterioles exhibit rhythmical contractions which are synchronous over
considerable distances. This vasomotion is likely to assist in tissue perfusion especially …

Regulation of cellular communication by signaling microdomains in the blood vessel wall

M Billaud, AW Lohman, SR Johnstone, LA Biwer… - Pharmacological …, 2014 - Elsevier
It has become increasingly clear that the accumulation of proteins in specific regions of the
plasma membrane can facilitate cellular communication. These regions, termed signaling …

Rapid endothelial cell–selective loading of connexin 40 antibody blocks endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor dilation in rat small mesenteric arteries

S Mather, KA Dora, SL Sandow, P Winter… - Circulation …, 2005 - Am Heart Assoc
In resistance arteries, spread of hyperpolarization from the endothelium to the adjacent
smooth muscle is suggested to be a crucial component of dilation resulting from …

Voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry into smooth muscle during contraction promotes endothelium-mediated feedback vasodilation in arterioles

CJ Garland, P Bagher, C Powell, X Ye… - Science …, 2017 - science.org
Vascular smooth muscle contraction is suppressed by feedback dilation mediated by the
endothelium. In skeletal muscle arterioles, this feedback can be activated by Ca2+ signals …

Integrated Ca2+ Signaling Between Smooth Muscle and Endothelium of Resistance Vessels

Y Yashiro, BR Duling - Circulation research, 2000 - Am Heart Assoc
Cell-cell communication in the arteriolar wall was examined using the Ca2+-sensitive
indicator fura-2 and the Ca2+ buffer BAPTA as means of measuring and buffering cellular …

Local regulation of microvascular perfusion

MJ Davis, MA Hill, L Kuo - Microcirculation, 2008 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the local control of microvascular perfusion,
which has been described as “the maintenance of appropriate tissue blood flow despite …

Endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization: the evolution of myoendothelial microdomains

CJ Garland, KA Dora - Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2021 - journals.lww.com
Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) was envisaged as a chemical entity
causing vasodilation by hyperpolarizing vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells and distinct …
