Figure 2

Effect of valeryl salicylate (VAS; 3 mM) and NS-398 (1 μM) on the relaxation induced by ACh in aortic rings with endothelium from aged (A) and young rats (B). The relaxations to ACh are expressed as per cent inhibition of the contraction to phenylephrine and are given as mean±s.e.mean. The # sign indicates a significant difference in aged rats between the response to ACh (3 to 100 μM) under control preparations and that after exposure to VAS (P=0.022). The asterisks (*) indicates a significant difference in aged rats between the response to ACh (10 nM to 100 μM) under control preparations and that after exposure to NS-398 (P=0.008).
