Effects of cyclic GMP on smooth muscle relaxation

T D Warner et al. Adv Pharmacol. 1994.

Abstract

Cyclic GMP levels within smooth muscle are affected then by a number of different pathways. Physiologically NO and ANF are probably the two most important regulators for smooth muscle function, but a variety of other mediators and pharmacological agents may also influence this system. Because of the important role that cyclic GMP plays in the control of smooth muscle tone, which clearly includes vascular smooth muscle, it is now and will continue to be in the future an important physiological and biochemical target for research and a pharmacological target for therapeutic agents.
