Endothelin and the ischaemic heart [PDF]
Soon after its identification as a powerful vasoconstrictor peptide, endothelin (ET-1) was implicated as a detrimental agent involved in determining the outcome of myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion.

Disruption of the endothelin A receptor in the nephron causes mild fluid volume expansion
Background Endothelin, via endothelin A receptors (ETA), exerts multiple pathologic effects that contribute to disease pathogenesis throughout the body. ETA antagonists ameliorate many experimental diseases and have been extensively utilized in clinical ...

Endothelin B receptor-mediated vasoconstriction induced by endothelin A receptor antagonist [PDF]
The vasoconstrictor effect of endothelins (ET) is mediated by endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) receptors. Furthermore, ETB receptor stimulation results in release of vasodilators. Hence, ETA receptor antagonists should attenuate ET-mediated vasoconstriction. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effects of BQ-123, an ETA

Background: Endothelin-1 (EDN1) and EDN receptor type A (EDNRA) are implicated in melanocyte functions. Aim and Objectives: This study examines the role of EDN1 (G5665T and T-1370G) and EDNRA (C + 70G and G-231A) polymorphisms as a risk factor for ...

Contribution of endothelin receptors and cyclooxygenase-derivatives to the altered response of the rabbit renal artery to endothelin-1 in diabetes [PDF]
The influence of diabetes on regulatory mechanisms and specific receptors implicated in the response of isolated rabbit renal artery to endothelin-1 was examined. Endothelin-1 induced a concentration-dependent contraction that was less potent in arteries

Prurigo nodularis is a highly pruritic and hyperplastic chronic dermatosis with unknown pathogenesis. Many pruritogenic mediators, including nerve growth factor, interleukin (IL)-31, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and endothelin-1, are implicated in ...

EndothelinA-endothelinB receptor cross-talk and endothelin receptor binding [PDF]
AbstractBackground and objectiveThe magnitude of inhibition of an endothelin (ET)-1 response by selective blockade of the ETA or ETB receptors can be limited by apparent compensation mediated by the unblocked receptor. While the mechanism underlying this functionally defined interaction, or ‘cross-talk’, is not clear, binding studies suggest an ...

The role of endothelin-1 in pulmonary arterial hypertension. [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but debilitating disease, which if left untreated rapidly progresses to right ventricular failure and eventually death. In the quest to understand the pathogenesis of this disease differences in the profile,

Many patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension do not achieve treatment goals with monotherapy, and therefore combination therapy is becoming the standard of care.
