The obligatory role of endothelial cells in the relaxation of arterial smooth muscle by acetylcholine.Nature, 288, 373-376, 1980.In 1978 Furchgott discovered a substance in endothelial cells that relaxes blood vessels, calling it endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). By 1986, he had worked out EDRF's nature and mechanism of action, and determined that EDRF was in fact nitric oxide (NO), an important compound in many aspects of cardiovascular physiology.
