Abstract
The tissue concentration of ET-1 is greater in human preterm intestine that demonstrates histologic evidence of NEC. Arterioles harvested from intestine exhibiting histologic evidence of NEC demonstrate vasoconstriction when compared with arterioles from relatively healthy intestine in the same resection specimen. This vasoconstriction was reversed by blockade of endothelin ETA receptors.
