VI.4. The role of the endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF)
The smooth muscle cells are hyperpolarized by the opening of K+ channels. The hyperpolarization causes Ca2+ influx and vasodilatation.
The EDRF has not been identified. It may be:
- epoxyeicosatetraenoic acids (EETs),
- endogenous cannabinoid (anandamide),
- hydroxyl radicals,
- O2-
- K+
The currently available data suggest that it is most probably an EET.
NO has effects on the large blood vessels (>300 µm), while EDFH has effects on the smaller blood vessels (<300 µm).
