Hydrogen peroxide as an

On the other hand, etomidate (5-300 uM) inhibited the vasodilator response to endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO) or
endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) in isolated human renal arteries (15).
CYP2C9 is expressed in the endothelium and, via production of
endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), may cause vasorelaxation as a result of hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle cells by activation of [Ca.sup.2+]-activated [K.sup.+] channels (6).
