P4.16 THE MYOTROPHOBLAST OF THE RAT PLACENTA: EX VIVO STUDY OF NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE INHIBITION
Introduction: Endovascular trophoblasts (EVasT) of the rat express smooth muscle (SM) proteins and contract ex vivo upon exposure to endothelin-1 (ET1). Contraction is mediated via ET1 receptors A and B (ETA, ETB). In vascular SM ETB, in variance from ETA, exerts relaxation through activation of nit...
