Abstract excerpt
Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoactive peptide which may play a role in the regulation of vascular resistance through its autocrine/paracrine effects. We have investigated the influence of salt loading on the renal and cardiac production of endothelin-1 in stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rat...
