Myoendothelial gap junctions may provide the pathway for EDHF in mouse mesenteric artery.
Endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle provides a major pathway for relaxation in resistance arteries. This can occur due to direct electrical coupling via myoendothelial gap junctions (MEGJs) and/or the release of factors (EDHF). Here we provide evidence for the existence...
