p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Regulates Vasoconstriction in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

We investigated whether p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and/or p38 MAPK participates in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle contraction by endothelin-1 (ET-1) in Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). ET-1 (10 nM) induced a sustained contraction in WKY...
