  • Chapter
Book cover Role of Nitric Oxide in Sepsis and ADRS

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 24))

Abstract

Endothelial cells contribute to the control of vascular tone by releasing autocrine and paracrine substances that mediate contraction (endothelins, endothelium-derived contracting factor) or relaxation (nitric oxide, prostacyclin, endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor) of the vascular smooth muscle [1–3].
