Fasudil evokes vasodilatation of rat mesenteric vascular bed via Ca2+ channels and Rho/ROCK pathway

The present results demonstrate that fasudil has a vasorelaxant effect on isolated rat resistance arteries, including mesenteric, renal, ventral tail and basilar artery, and may exert its action through the endothelium, Ca2+ channels, and the Rho/ROCK pathway.
