Popis: Acetylcholine (0·01–10 μmol litre−1) relaxed normal rings (endothelium-retained) of rabbit pulmonary artery precontracted with clonidine (10 μmol litre−1) while preparations with the endothelium removed responded with contraction only. Removal of the endothelium had no effect on contractions of the preparation to clonidine or field stimulation of the adventitial nerves (2 Hz, 10 s). Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of acetylcholine (0·3 and 1·0 μmol litre−1) on contractions induced by field stimulation was not influenced by the vascular endothelium.
