Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Ameliorates Angiotensin II-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells through the Activation of Nrf2/Caspase-3 Signaling.

abstract：:Previous studies demonstrated that maintenance of steady-state myogenic tone requires Ca(2+)-dependent myosin phosphorylation. The present studies furthered these observations by examining temporal relationships among Ca(2+), myosin phosphorylation and vessel diameter during acute increases in intraluminal pressure an...
