Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of the number of animals shown in Figs. 3 and 5 ; Rmax, maximal effect (expressed as a percentage of the maximal response induced by 75 mM KCl); pD2, −log one-half Rmax; AG; aminoguanidine, TEA; tetraethylammonium, losartan, enalapril. P<0.05 vs. untreated control rats (#) and lead-treated control rats (*).
