Insulin Induces Internalization of the Plasma Membrane 5-Hydroxytryptamine2A (5-HT2A) Receptor in the Isolated Human Endothelium-Denuded Saphenous Vein via the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Pathway

The aim of this study was to investigate the relaxant effect of insulin on the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-induced constriction of the human endothelium-denuded saphenous vein (SV) and its signal transduction pathway. During the 5-HT-induced sustained constriction of vessels, insulin induced vasorela...
