AIM: The present study was designed to investigatethe contribution of membrane hyperpolarization toendothelium-dependent relaxations induced by serotoninin the porcine coronary artery. METHODS: Ringswith and without endothelium of porcine coronaryarteries were suspended in conventional organ chambersfor the measurement of isometric force. The cellmembrane potential of the vascular smooth muscle cellswas measured using glass microelectrodes, in thepresence of indometacin, ketanserin, and/or N~ω-nitro-L-arginine. RESULTS: Serotonin induced a transi-ent endothelium-, and concentration-dependent relaxa-ti-n in rings contracted with prostaglandin F_(2α) in the
