An indirect influence of phenylephrine on the release of endothelium-derived vasodilators in rat small mesenteric artery.

1. The possibility that stimulation of smooth muscle alpha(1)-adrenoceptors modulates contraction via the endothelium was examined in rat small mesenteric arteries. 2. N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, (L-NAME, 100 microM to inhibit NO synthase) increased contraction to single concentrations o...
