Effects of Endothelins on Respiration and Arterial Chemoreceptor Activity in Anaesthetised Rats

  • Chapter
Arterial Chemoreceptors

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 360))

Abstract

The endothelins (ETs) are a family of peptides (ET-1, ET-2, ET-3) that can be released from the endothelium by hypoxia. Two subtypes of ET receptor have been identified - ETA and ETB (see Haynes et al., 1993).
