RESUMO

RESUMO

1. This review desribes the role of vascular endothelium in the response induced by different vasoactive agentes. 2. The interaction between endothelium, vascular smooth muscle and platelets is discussed. 3. The hormone control as well as pmhysicochemical alterations that interfere with some endothelium-dependent vascular responses are described
