Abstract excerpt
AIM: Indirect evidences by blockade of the endothelin receptors have suggested a role of endothelin in endothelium-dependent vasodilation. This study aimed to investigate whether circulating levels of endotehlin-1 or genetic variations in genes in the endothelin pathway were related to endothelium-dependent vasodilation. METHODS: In 1016 seventy-year-old participants of the population-based Prospective Study of...
