Increased role of E prostanoid receptor-3 in prostacyclin-evoked contractile activity of spontaneously hypertensive rat mesenteric resistance arteries

Abstract This study aimed to determine whether E prostanoid receptor-3 (EP3) is involved in prostacyclin (PGI2)-evoked vasoconstrictor activity of resistance arteries and if so, how it changes under hypertensive conditions. Mesenteric resistance arteries from Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKYs) and spontaneous...
