Figure 4. The effect of aging and acute PARP-inhibition on contraction of rat aortic rings.
Contraction forces induced by potassium chloride (KCl; 0.1M) (A) and phenylephrine (PE; 10−6 M) (B). Each column represents mean ± s.e.mean of 12 experiments with thoracic aortic rings in all groups. *, P<0.05 versus young control.
