ARSENIC-INDUCED DYSFUNCTION IN RELAXATION OF BLOOD VESSELS

  • Published : 2002.11.01

Abstract

Several epidemiological studies have suggested that exposure to arsenic is strongly correlated with the development of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. To determine whether arsenic affects vasomotor tone in blood vessels, we investigated the effect of arsenic on vasorelaxation using isolated rat aortic rings in an organ bath system.(omitted)
