The Full Form of EDRF is Endothelial-derived relaxing factor.
Endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) is a potent vasodilator that is elaborated by vascular endothelial cells in response to a number of stress signals, such as hypoxia, and ADP accumulation. EDRF release is also stimulated by distending forces in the vascular wall, which can amplify the coronary flow in response to conditions such as exercise when it can be appropriate for both coronary perfusion pressure and flow to increase (Gattullo et al., 1999). This is in contrast to autoregulation, which keeps the flow constant during inappropriate changes in coronary perfusion pressure. Nitric oxide (NO) is the principal EDRF.
