Differential Inotropic Effects of Endothelin-1, Angiotensin II, and Phenylephrine Induced by Crosstalk With cAMP-Mediated Signaling Process in Dog Ventricular Myocardium
Endothelin-1 (ET-1), angiotensin II (Ang II), and phenylephrine, an α2-adrenoceptor agonist, share the common signaling process, resulting in activation of Gq protein-coupled receptor (GqPCR) to activate the hydrolysis of phosphoinositide (PI). They do not elicit any inotropic effect in isolated dog...
