Vasomotor Reaction to Cyclooxygenase-1-Mediated Prostacyclin Synthesis in Carotid Arteries from Two-Kidney-One-Clip Hypertensive Mice.
This study tested the hypothesis that in hypertensive arteries cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) remains as a major form, mediating prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2; PGI2) synthesis that may evoke a vasoconstrictor response in the presence of functional vasodilator PGI2 (IP) receptors.
