The digestive tract has been shown to express relaxin receptors; the hormone appears to exert site-specific effects acting at the neural or at the smooth muscle level, mainly by a nitric oxide-mediated mechanism. (Review)

SLX has roles in vascular oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic plaque burden

This study tested the hypothesis that functional adaptation of the mesenteric and uterine arteries during pregnancy will be compromised in relaxin-deficient mice.

Passive mechanical wall properties differed at younger ages, suggesting that Relaxin expression has only minor effects on vascular aging.

we demonstrate endothelial dysfunction and impaired arterial wall remodeling in male mice deficient in relaxin. Thus, our results highlight a role for endogenous relaxin in the maintenance of normal mesenteric artery structure and function in males.
