Tempol treatment caused a slightly leftward shift of the MCA stress-strain curve, although not statiscally significant (A). Vessel stiffness was not changed by tempol treatment, as seen by no differences in the β-coefficient values (B). Values are mean±SEM. The MCA was cannulated between two glass cannulas in a pressure arteriograph and kept in oxygenated warm calcium-free PSS under no-flow conditions throughout the experiment (Tempol, n=10; Control, n=5).
