The article contains the current understanding of gas communication in smooth muscle cells, the basic mechanisms of action of gaseous transmitters, analyzes the different views on the nature of the endothelial relaxing and endothelial hyperpolarizing factors. We discuss the controversial issues of the mechanisms of endothelium-dependent relaxation of vascular smooth muscle.
