Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase inhibitor, A484954 lowered blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats via inducing vasorelaxation

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) kinase (eEF2K) suppresses protein translation. We previously reported eEF2K expression was upregulated in mesenteric arteries (MA) from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We have recently revealed A484954, an eEF2K inhibitor, acutely suppressed vasopressor a...
