Equilin displays similar endothelium-independent vasodilator potential to 17β-estradiol regardless of lower potential to inhibit calcium entry

In conclusion, equilin blocks L-type Ca2+ channels less effectively than 17β-estradiol. Despite its lower effectiveness, equilin equally relaxes resistance mesenteric arteries by acting on smooth muscle blocking Ca2+ entry.Graphical abstract
