enables → A novel potent vasoconstrictor peptide produced by vascular endothelial cells — The discovery of endothelium-dependent relaxation established endothelial cells as active vascular regulators, setting up the search for endothelial constrictor factors like endothelin.
cite ← A novel potent vasoconstrictor peptide produced by vascular endothelial cells — Yanagisawa et al. build on Furchgott and Zawadzki's endothelium-dependent vascular regulation by identifying endothelin as an endothelial-cell-derived vasoconstrictor peptide.
