Non-neuronal cell-derived acetylcholine, a key modulator of the vascular endothelial function in health and disease
Vascular endothelial cells play an important role in regulating peripheral circulation by modulating arterial tone in the microvasculature. Elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels are required in endothelial cells to induce smooth muscle relaxation via endothelium-dependent mechanisms such as nitric oxid...
