The effects of Adrenomedullin (AM) (13-52), human [hADM-(13-52)] are investigated in the rat pulmonary vascular bed and in isolated rings from the rat pulmonary artery (PA). Under conditions of controlled blood flow and constant left atrial pressure when tone is increased with U-46619, injection of hADM-(13-52) produces dose-related decreases in lobar arterial pressure. hADM-(13-52) modulates receptor-mediated, but not voltage-dependent, pulmonary vascular contraction by influencing Ca2+ influx[1].
