title: [Influence of bioflavonoid (4-methylesculetin) on the reaction of isolated calf hepatic artery to serotonin].
abstract: The effect of 4-metilesculetin on strips of calf hepatic arteries was investigated. 4-metilesculetin antagonizes the contraction induced by 5-HT probably through activation of the synthesis of vasodilator prostaglandins.
