Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C. Hydroxylamine is a natural product of cellular metabolism that possesses vasodilating properties similar to those of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). In the rodent pulmonary circulation preconstricted with the endo peroxide analog U-46619, hydroxylamine relaxed the vasculature in a concen tration-dependent manner. Blockade of the hydroxylamine vasodilator response by methylene blue indicated that the mechanism of vasorelaxation is similar to that of EDRF. In this preparation, hydroxylamine is a more potent vasodilator than nitroglycerin.
