Table III.

Area under the acetylcholine concentration-relaxation curves (AUC; arbitrary units) and logarithm of the molar concentration that produces 50% relaxation (log IC50; a measure of sensitivity) in the carotid arteries of cross fostered female offspring (n = 4–10 mice in each group).

Offspring	AUC	Log IC₅₀
NOS3^FWT/−mat	229.65±5.78^*	7.66±0.04^*
NOS3^FKO/−pat	286.73±11.80	8.07±0.09
NOS3^FKO/+WT	262.81±13.57	7.91±0.13

AUC and IC50 were not calculated for the NOS3FWT/−KO because of the contractile response to acetylcholine.

P < 0.001 for NOS3FWT/−mat vs. NOS3 FWT/−pat.
