Epidermal Growth Factor Induces Vasoconstriction Through the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase-Mediated Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway in Hypertensive Rats

Abstract.: We investigated whether increased contractile responsiveness to epidermal growth factor (EGF) is associated with altered activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the aortic smooth muscle of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. EGF induced contraction...
