Abstract
The endothelial cells relase both relaxing [nitric oxide (NO), endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), prostacyclin] and contracting factors [endoperoxides, thromboxane A2, superoxide anions, endothelin-1 (ET)]. The production of ET is inhibited by NO. The latter also strongly opposes the direct effects of the former on vascular smooth muscle. With aging and vascular disease, the production of enothelial NO declines, and thus ET can be released, act and contribute to the symptoms.
