Schematic representation of the mechanism of action of intravascular vs. interstitial ADM (adapted from Voors et al. 2019).

1. ADM present within the blood vessels improves vascular integrity and reduces vascular permeability

2. Adrenomedullin present in the interstitium acts on the vascular smooth muscle cells and causes dilatation of the vascular resistance and capacitance vessels.
