GSEs (grape seed extracts) which contain polyphenolic compounds cause an endotheliumdependent relaxation of blood vessels. The aim of the present study was to examine the mechanisms involved in this response. A well-characterized GSE was applied to rabbit aortic rings suspended in organ baths containing Krebs–Henseleit buffer maintained at 37 ◦C. In aortic rings pre-contacted with noradrenaline...

When two terms occur together in a document, the probability of a close relationship between them and the document itself is greater if they are in nearby positions.
