Role of nitric oxide in β2-adrenergic mediated vasodilation in postmenopausal women

Objectives: Postmenopausal (PM) women have a blunted β2-adrenergic receptor-mediated responsiveness when compared to young premenopausal women in part due to a reduction in the relative contribution of nitric oxide (NO) to β2-adrenergic mediated vasodilation. Hence, we tested the contribution of NO to β2-adrenergic receptor-mediated vasodilation du ring terbutaline infusion.
