As it is well known, endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in the development of common cardiovascular diseases and their complications. One of the main pathogenetic pathways of endothelial dysfunction development is an increased formation and biological activity of the powerful vasoconstrictor and proinflammatory peptide endothelin (ET-1), which mediates own effects via two pharmacologically distinguishable receptor subtypes, endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) receptors, respectively. |
