Altered endothelin receptor expression and affinity in spontaneously hypertensive rat cerebral and coronary arteries.
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is associated with arterial hyperreactivity, and endothelin (ET) receptors are involved in vascular pathogenesis. The present study was performed to examine the hypothesis that ET receptors were altered in cerebral and coronary arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SH...
