Abstract

The production (synthesis or release or both) of endothelium derived relaxant factor was studied in rabbit aortic strip preparations and an aortic-coronary artery bioassay system. Production of endothelium derived relaxant factor was rapidly inhibited by agents that inhibit mitochondrial electron transport or F1-ATPase, or which uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, but was only slowly impaired by inhibition of glycolysis. It was dependent also on the presence of extracellular calcium with a rapid on-off response time. This study shows that production of endothelium derived relaxant factor appears to be dependent on both oxidative phosphorylation and extracellular calcium.
