FIGURE 9

Summary of experimental data of Rhus coriaria (sumac)-evoked signaling in aortic relaxation. The diagram illustrates guanylyl cyclase’s (royal blue color) role as a nexus between the proximal activators and distal effectors, and also incorporating the activation of adenylyl cyclase system (purple). Additional contributory routes are implicated by red dashed arrows (convergence hubs for cross-talk between the two systems). Light blue boxes are antagonists. RCE, Rhus coriaria extract; AC, adenylyl cyclase; EPAC, exchange protein directly activated by cAMP; NO, nitric oxide; eNOS, endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Please see text for details. Solid lines in the figure are either established in this study or already published.
