Despite being vital for survival, the mechanism of coronary autoregulation is unknown. We hypothesized that G\u2010protein coupled receptor 39 (GPR39), present in vascular smooth muscle cells, together with its endogenous agonist 15\u2010hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid orchestrate coronary autoregulation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">We created coronary stenoses of varying degrees in open\u2010chest, anesthetized dogs, where we measured CBF and CDP. In a subset of animals, coronary venous blood was sampled for eicosanoid, adenosine, endothelin\u20101, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and prostaglandins levels. Stenoses were recreated during intravenous administration of VC108, a specific GPR39 antagonist, and systemic, pulmonary, and coronary hemodynamics measured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">\n                      GPR39 was identified in coronary arterioles by immunohistochemistry and in heart tissue by western blot.
