20-hydroxyecdysone dilates muscle arterioles in a nitric oxide-dependent, estrogen ER-β receptor-independent manner

Background: 20-hydroxyecdysone is an ecdysteroid which is abundant in plants and insects and has anabolic potentials in mammals. It was recently shown to have affinity for estrogen ER-β receptor, which could potentially make it vasodilatory. Yet this possibility has not been previously investigated....
