cardiovascular system
N |
• mutants do not develop cardiac hypertrophy on a regular diet or salt-sensitive hypertension
|
• vasodilator response to S6c, a selective Ednrb agonist, is attenuated in mutant aortic rings compared to controls
• acetylcholine-induced vasodilation is impaired
• however, S6c-induced tracheal smooth muscle cell contraction is unaltered
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• plasma endothelin-1 concentration is increased
|
• decrease in endogenous release of NO
|
