Regional difference of endothelium-dependent contractility in human umbilical artery

To investigate whether vascular reactivity of the umbilical artery influences differences in Doppler waveform depending on the sampling site along the cord, we studied a regional difference of endothelium-dependent vascular contractility in human umbilical artery using mechanical responses to the quick stretch of vascular smooth muscle strips...
