Table III.

Values of contraction (g) and relaxation (%) of aortic rings in control and experimental rats

Control MS
Vascular contraction 1.5 ± 0.2 2.2 ± 0.2*
Vascular relaxation 84.4 ± 2.6 64.9 ± 3.3*

The results are expressed as relaxation percentage of the initial precontraction level with NE (1 μM). Final relaxation with Ach (1 × 10−6 M) is reported. Values are mean ± SEM, n = 8; *P < 0.001.
