The majority of the severe vascular complications in fibrosis are a consequence of a deregulated activity of mediators controlling vasomotor tone. One of the most important of these mediators is endothelin‐1 (ET‐1). Here, we have investigated the role of proteinase‐activated receptor 2 (PAR2) in the vascular dysfunction in a model of fibrosis, using tight‐skin (Tsk) mice.
