Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) in Smooth Muscle : Expression, Function and Mechanism

The aim of the present thesis was to characterize the role of the different families of phosphodiesterases (PDEs), the enzymes degrading 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), in controlling the cAMP signalling in two distinct smooth muscle cells (SMCs), the rat aorta SMC (RASMCs) an...
