Journal ArticleDOI

Vasorelaxant responses to endomorphins, nociceptin, albuterol, and adrenomedullin in isolated rat aorta.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the endomorphins relax aortic vascular smooth muscle from the rat aorta by an endothelium-dependant mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proadrenomedullin NH2-terminal 20 peptide has cAMP-mediated vasodilator activity in the mesenteric vascular bed of the cat.

TL;DR: The present data suggest that vasodilator responses to the hPAMP and hADM are mediated by an increase in cAMP and that an interaction with the adrenergic nervous system is not involved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrenomedullin(16–31) Has Pressor Activity in the Rat But Not the Cat

TL;DR: The data suggest that increases in systemic arterial pressure in response to hADM (16-31) are mediated by release of catecholamines and activation of alpha-adrenergic receptors in the rat, and that there are marked species differences in the response to the peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacologic management of peripheral vascular disease

TL;DR: Although the understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and peripheral vascular disease continues to grow, there is still no medication that can safely and efficaciously be given to most claudicants that will alleviate their symptoms to prevent disease progression.
