(5) Chemical removal of the endothelium with saponin was shown to lead to abnormal coronary reactivity, eliminate dilatory and give rise to constrictive responses to ATP, acetylcholine, histamine.
(6) Intracoronary adenosine as well as the adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP, beta, gamma-methylene-ATP, diadenosine-tetraphosphate, and polyadenylic acid) do not elicit their dilatory effects directly at the smooth muscle cells of the resistance vessel wall, but indirectly, via the endothelium.
(7) Blockade of alpha-adrenoreceptors with dihydroergotoxin makes noradrenaline to elicit dilatory responses only, their magnitude depending on the initial level of venous pressure: more obvious responses at 10-15 mm Hg, less obvious those - at 0 and 25 mm Hg.
