Vascular endothelium regulates vascular tone by releasing endothelium-derived vasoactive substances. We performed this study to characterize the inhibitory effect of the endothelium on vasoconstrictor stimuli in rat mesenteric vascular beds. Changes in perfusion pressure induced by continuous perfus...
