Popis: OBJECTIVES It has been previously demonstrated that endothelial caveolin-1 plays crucial roles to produce an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor in mouse mesenteric arteries. We examined whether this mechanism is involved in the endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization-mediated responses to compensate reduced NO-mediated responses in diabetes mellitus during coronary occlusion in dogs in vivo. METHODS Canine subepicardial collateral coronary small arteries (≥100 μm) and arterioles (
