These results show that neutrophils taken from healthy donors damage the endothelium by a mechanism dependent on ETs acting via ET(A) receptor, whereas neutrophils from acute pancreatitis patients cause more severe damage that is not dependent on ETs in the in vitro system used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
