Figure 5. Effect of a high fat diet on acetylcholine-mediated vascular relaxation of epineurial arterioles.

Figure 5

Pressurized arterioles (40 mm Hg and ranging from 60–100 μm luminal diameter) were constricted with U46619 (30–50%) and incremental doses of acetylcholine were added to the bathing solution while recording steady state vessel diameter. Data are presented as the mean of % relaxation ± SEM. For these studies two vessels were collected from each rat, studied and the data combined. * p < 0.05, compared to rats fed the standard diet (control). The minimum number of rats in each group is 9.
