Significantly different from smooth muscle cell membrane potential (P < 0.01).
Significantly different from value before Bay K8644 (P < 0.01).
Significantly different from value before 18βGA (endothelium) or 18βGA + BayK8644 (vascular smooth muscle; P < 0.011).
Significantly different from value in BayK8644 but absence of 18βGA (P < 0.01).
