Studies on the role of cyclic AMP in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle tension
The precise role of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction has been a subject of controversy for the last two decades. It has been hypothesized that drug-induced elevation of cAMP levels is responsible for vascular smooth muscle relaxation. In the present studies this hypot...
