Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker benidipine prevent lysophosphatidylcholine-induced endothelial dysfunction in rat aorta?
Answer: These results suggest that benidipine inhibited LPC-induced endothelial dysfunction by maintaining increase in [Ca2+]i. Benidipine possesses membrane stabilization properties in LPC-treated endothelial cells. It is speculated that the preservation of membrane fluidity by benidipine may play a role in the retainment of calcium mobilization. The present findings may provide new insights into the endothelial protective effects of benidipine.
Output (English): yes
