Figure 6. Effect of M1301-374 on relaxation in 1 % Triton X-100-permeabilized porcine renal artery.
The permeabilized fibres were contracted with 10 μM Ca2+ CSS, and then relaxed by exposure to Ca2+-free CSS containing 10 μM wortmannin in either the presence (•) or the absence (○) of 3 μM M1301-374. M1301-374 was applied 5 min prior to exposure to Ca2+-free CSS. Force development is expressed as a percentage of that obtained with 10 μM Ca2+. Data are means ±s.e.m. (n = 4). Inset, a semilog plot of the same data, showing a decrease of force regression during relaxation for fibres in the presence of 3 μM M1301-374 (▪) compared with that in control fibres (○).
