Identification of endothelin-1, endothelin-2 and endothelin-3 in human endometrium [PDF]
This study determined the presence of specific endothelin isoforms in human endometrium using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with radioimmunoassay, and immunocytochemistry to detect the endothelin precursors (proendothelin-1, proendothelin-2 and proendothelin-3).

Endothelin-1 (1-31) Is an Intermediate in the Production of Endothelin-1 After Big Endothelin-1 Administration In Vivo [PDF]
The precursor of endothelin-1, big endothelin-1, can be hydrolyzed by chymase to generate endothelin-1 (1-31) in vitro. In the present study, we explored the processes involved in the production of endothelin-1 (1-31) as well as its pharmacodynamic characteristics in the rabbit in vivo.

Immunohistochemical Localization of Endothelin- 1 and Endothelin A Receptor in Human Primary Tooth Enamel Organ [PDF]
Statement of the Problem: Enamel organ (EO) is an ectodermal derived structure, which is involved in the different aspects of tooth development. Tooth development shares the same regulatory molecules and genes expressed in other developing organs ...

Production of endothelin‐1 and big‐endothelin‐1 by pleural mesothelial cells [PDF]
Immunoreactive endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) and big‐endothelin‐1 (big‐ET‐1) were detected in conditioned medium of cultured rat pleural mesothelial cells by using sensitive sandwich‐type enzyme immunoassays. The amount of both ET‐1 and big‐ET‐1 increased time‐dependently. In both instances, maximal amount was detectable in conditioned medium obtained after 72 h

Analysis of Endothelin-1 Concentrations in Individuals with Periodontitis
Endothelin 1 (ET-1) has been shown to have a key role in homeostasis and function of endothelium and maybe fundamental in the relationship between coronary heart disease (CHD) and periodontitis.

Spironolactone rescues Dot1a-Af9-mediated repression of endothelin-1 and improves kidney injury in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. [PDF]
The molecular mechanism linking aldosterone and endothelin-1 in the development of diabetic nephropathy has not been completely elucidated. Here, we provide evidence showing that streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats have significantly increased ...

Serum endothelin-1 level positively correlates with waist and hip circumferences in stable coronary artery disease patients [PDF]
Central obesity is associated with increased level and activity of endothelin-1. The waist and hip circumferences are simple indicators of central obesity.
