The present study investigates the mechanisms related to the endogenous nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation in the relaxant effects of a proanthocyanidin-rich fraction (PRF), obtained from Croton celtidifolius BAILL barks, in rat thoracic aorta rings with endothelium. In vessels pre-contracted w...
