PGE 2 also plays a critical role in regulating systemic blood pressure [ 37 38 ] . Although the receptor mediating the predominant vasodilator effect of PGE 2 remains only partially defined, recent gene targeting studies suggest that the EP 2 receptor may be an important vasodilator in vivo [ 7 8 ] . The rabbit ear artery has been used as a classic pharmacological model of an EP 2 responsive tissue, while the rabbit jugular vein has been proposed to be an EP 4 bearing target tissue [ 3 4 39 ] , however in the present studies EP 2 receptor mRNA was detected in both vessels.
The vasodilator effect of acetazolamide on the cerebral vasculature has been characterized by both PET and transcranial Doppler (TCD) studies [ 21 22 ] . At a dose of 15 mg/kg the effect of acetazolamide is thought to be supramaximal with maximal cerebral vasodilation induced within about 20 minutes.
Increased nNOS has been suggested as a compensatory vasodilator in the cerebral and coronary circulation of eNOS-deficient mice, but its role in the pulmonary circulation is unknown [ 8, 30].
NO, which may be synthesized by any of the three isoforms of NOS, is a vasodilator of the pulmonary circulation in many mammals.
Variation in the number of perfused capillaries and local differences in the vasodilator response characteristics of vessels cause local differences in blood flow of up to sixfold [ 17].
