endothelium-derived

derived from endothelium.

endothelium-derived vasoactive substances

substances produced by or released from endothelial cells which regulate vascular smooth muscle or other regulatory mechanism; include prostacyclin and other prostanoids, angiotensin, and relaxing or constricting factors.

endothelium-derived constricting factor

vasoconstrictive peptides isolated from vascular endothelial cells which are actively vasoconstrictive; endothelin (ET) is the most active of them.

endothelium-derived relaxing factor

several are known; nitrous oxide is one of the chief mediators, probably derived from l-arginine.
