Decreased endothelium-dependent relaxation in New Zealand genetic hypertensive rats.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that there exists a generalized defect in the relaxant ability of vascular smooth muscle from GH rats and suggest that this defect is coupled with a decreased responsiveness to endothelium-dependent vasodilators in this particular animal model of hypertension.

Blockade of endothelium-dependent relaxation by the amiloride analog dichlorobenzamil: possible role of Na+/Ca++ exchange in the release of endothelium-derived relaxant factor.

TL;DR: Although the presence of extracellular calcium is critically required for the expression of endothelium-dependent relaxation, the associated calcium translocation is not blocked by the organic calcium entry blockers and the results with dichlorobenzamil suggest that sodium-calcium exchange may be an important mechanistic step in the release of endotHelium-derived relaxant factor.
