Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-induced inhibitory effects on porcine coronary and cerebral arteries involve inhibition of prostanoid TP receptors

Abstract This study was performed to elucidate whether eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) suppresses spasm-prone blood vessel contractions induced by a thromboxane mimetic (U46619) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and determine whether the primary target of EPA is the prostanoid TP receptor. Accordingly, we a...
