Abstract
Considering that the overproduction of ET-1 following endothelial dysfunction and inflammation, contributes to pathophysiological processes such as vascular hypertrophy, cell proliferation and fibrosis, our results suggest that PMNs and MÃs can also play a key role in vascular dysfunctions via the possible formation of an autocrine loop between ET-1 and ETA.
