Amplitude of SCcarb | Frequency of SCcarb | Inhibition of Amplitude After 30 min | Inhibition of Frequency After 30 min | |
---|---|---|---|---|
100 μM SNAP (n =15) | 33.2±4%* | 10.25±6.2%* | 14.9±4.7%* | 3.6±10.8% |
100 μM 8-bromo-cGMP (n =13) | 55.2±2.5%* | 28.2±3.8%* | 49.2±3.2%* | 28.8±3.9%* |
Values are means ± SE expressed as percentage of drug-induced reduction measured as percentage of control; n = no. of strips. SNAP, S-nitroso-N-acetyl-dl-penicillamine; SCcarb, carbachol-enhanced spontaneous contractions.
P < 0.05 vs. control by Student's t-test with layered Bonferroni corrections when multiple comparisons were made.
