Sensitization to stress: the enduring effects of prior stress on amphetamine-induced rotational behavior.

abstract：:Endothelin is a vasoconstrictor peptide which has recently been isolated and sequenced from the vascular endothelial cells. It was reported to increase blood pressure in vivo and produce a prolonged contraction with a slow onset in vitro. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether endothelin can lower the po...
