Figure 1. PE-induced vascular contractile responses are attenuated by LPS plus BzATP.
Endothelium-intact aortic rings were incubated with DMEM (Control; n=8), LPS (100 μg/ml; n=9), BzATP (150 μM; n=5), and LPS plus BzATP (LPS 100 μg/ml plus BzATP 150 μM; LPS+BzATP; n=7). Data are plotted as the percentage of maximum contractile response to 120 mM KCl. Log EC50 to PE are represented. Data are expressed as mean±SEM of n animals. *P<0.001 vs. Control.
