Comparative study of the inhibitory effects of adrenomedullin on angiotensin II contraction in rat conductance and resistance arteries

Adrenomedullin (ADM), a ubiquitous vasoactive peptide, has been the target of a multitude of studies concerning its effect on the vascular tone. The present work aims at clarifying a series of its interactions with the renin-angiotensin system. The study uses the rat aorta ring as a model of conduct...
