Regulation of human endocardial endothelial cells' secretion of endothelin-1 by neuropeptide Y

Endocardial endothelial cells (EECs) can exert a significant influence on cardiac function by releasing various factors such as nitric oxide (NO), prostanoids, endothelin-1 (ET-1) and angiotensin II (Ang II). Recently, results obtained in our laboratory demonstrated the presence of NPY and its recep...
