The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism(s) of resveratrol-induced vasorelaxation in rat aorta with endothelium present. Rat aortic rings were precontracted with phenylephrine. Resveratrol induced relaxation of the rat aortic rings. In conclusion, we have shown that resveratrol potently relaxed rat aortic rings with endothelium present. It seems that NO and smooth muscle Kv channels are included in this relaxation. This findigs is of clinical importance in both veterinary and human medicine.
