Sex differences in endothelial function in porcine coronary arteries: a role for H2O2and gap junctions?

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cardiovascular risk is higher in men and postmenopausal women compared with premenopausal women. This may be due to sex differences in endothelial function. Here, sex differences in endothelial function of porcine coronary arteries (PCAs) were investigated. EXPERIMENTAL APPR...
