Difference between Endothelin and Vasoconstriction

Endothelin vs. Vasoconstriction

Endothelins are peptides with receptors and effects in many body organs. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, in particular the large arteries and small arterioles.

Similarities between Endothelin and Vasoconstriction

Endothelin and Vasoconstriction have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Blood pressure, Endothelin receptor, Endothelium, Hypertension, Nitric oxide, Smooth muscle tissue.

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Endothelin receptor

There are at least four known endothelin receptors, ETA, ETB1, ETB2 and ETC, all of which are G protein-coupled receptors whose activation result in elevation of intracellular-free calcium, which constricts the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, raising blood pressure, or relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, among other functions.

Endothelium

Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Hypertension

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.

Nitric oxide

Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide) is a colorless gas with the formula NO.

Endothelin and Vasoconstriction Comparison

Endothelin has 48 relations, while Vasoconstriction has 108. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 3.85% = 6 / (48 + 108).
