Mutant mice deficient in endothelin-1 (ET-1) were created by using gene-targeting techniques. ET-1 +/- heterozygous mice showed elevated arterial pressure accompanied by diminished arterial PO2 and impaired respiratory reflexes. Endogenous ET-1 thus plays a physiological role in cardiorespiratory control. Neural structures in the ventral medulla oblongata appear to participate in this process.
