Peptidyl-prolyl isomerases: functionality and potential therapeutic targets in cardiovascular disease.

abstract：:1. Synthetic human endothelin was injected intravenously over the range 1.5-50 micrograms to examine its cardiovascular actions in conscious sheep. 2. Mean arterial pressure increased by 9-21 mmHg within 30-120 s over the range 5-50 micrograms endothelin. The increase in blood pressure was associated with increased ca...
