Essay

NO relaxes arterial smooth muscles of rat tail artery not only due to decrease in intracellular calcium level, but also due to decrease in calcium-sensitivity of regulating and/or contractile proteins. The ability to relax arterial smooth muscles and decrease in intracellular calcium level via a cGMP-independent way is intrinsic for all the studied compound.
