Perivascular tissue of internal thoracic artery releases potent nitric oxide and prostacyclin-independent anticontractile factor

Objective: It has been recently suggested that perivascular tissue (PVT) releases hypothetic adipocyte- or adventitia-derived relaxing factor. The aim of the study was to assess anticontractile properties of perivascular tissue of human internal thoracic artery (ITA) and to check if this activity is...
