Increased vascular contractility in isolated vessels from cigarette smoking rats is mediated by basal endothelin release
The effect of chronic cigarette smoking on endothelin modulation of vascular contraction and CYP enzyme levels was studied in 20 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided equally into smoking and non-smoking groups. The smoking group was exposed to 6 research cigarettes per rat per day 5 da...
