1 Incubation of aortic rings in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ or in the presence of the Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine (100 nmol.L-1) greatly attenuated ET-1-induced vasoconstriction. Nifedipine endothelin 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Therefore, ET-1 may utilize at least 2 signal transduction mechanisms, one involving the opening of nifedipine-sensitive Ca2+ channels and the other involving the elevation of cAMP levels, to produce the unusually slow-developing and stable vasoconstrictions in rat aortae. Nifedipine endothelin 1 Rattus norvegicus
