Effects of the potassium channel activator, cromakalim, on arterial and cardiac responses to norepinephrine, angiotensin II, and isoproterenol in normotensive men.

abstract：:Endogenous as well as synthetic cannabinoids have potent vasodilatory actions in a variety of vascular preparations. Their precise mechanism of action is as yet unclear, but several studies point to the activation of type 1 vanilloid (TRPV1) receptors on primary afferent perivascular nerves, stimulating the release of...
