Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition: prospects for the future.

abstract：:The in vivo vasoconstrictor effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) was investigated on feline and canine basilar arteries. The basilar artery caliber was angiographically measured after either vertebral artery perfusion or cisternal injection of the peptide. In both cats and dogs, ET-1 (5-500 pmol) induced a dose-dependent bas...
