Betrie A, Brock J, Harraz O, Bush A, He G, Nelson M, et al.
Nat Commun . 2021 Jun; 12(1):3296. PMID: 34075043
Zinc, an abundant transition metal, serves as a signalling molecule in several biological systems. Zinc transporters are genetically associated with cardiovascular diseases but the function of zinc in vascular tone...

Eur J Pharmacol . 2020 Jun; 882:173304. PMID: 32592771
Recently, the β-adrenoceptor agonist terbutaline was shown to have α-adrenolytic activity in mouse isolated pulmonary arteries in vitro and to lower pulmonary artery pressure in anaesthetised mice. The aim of...

Khammy M, Angus J, Wright C
Heliyon . 2020 May; 6(4):e03810. PMID: 32368652
Objectives: The vascular amplifier in hypertension is a result of structural changes in resistance arteries. We estimated the vascular amplifier hypertensive:normotensive (H:N) ratio in the renal bed compared with the...

Mazeh A, Angus J, Wright C
Auton Neurosci . 2019 Nov; 222:102588. PMID: 31669796
The vas deferens responds to a single electrical pulse with a biphasic contraction caused by cotransmitters ATP and noradrenaline. Removing Mg (normally 1.2 mM) from the physiological salt solution (PSS)...

Eur J Pharmacol . 2019 May; 855:124-136. PMID: 31063771
In the pulmonary vasculature there is clearance of endothelin-1 from the circulation mediated by endothelin ET receptors. This study explored the haemodynamic effects of endothelin-1 and its clearance in the...

Angus J, Hughes R, Wright C
Pharmacol Res Perspect . 2017 Dec; 5(6). PMID: 29226623
Dual endothelin ET and ET receptor antagonists are approved therapy for pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). We hypothesized that ET receptor-mediated clearance of endothelin-1 at specific vascular sites may compromise this...
