Maximal endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization responses in mesenteric resistance arterioles from sham-infused rats

Added to the bath Relaxation (%) P value vs vehicle
Vehicle 29 ± 3
Catalase (125 units · ml−1) 26 ± 6 ns
14,15-EEZE (10−5M) 32 ± 5 ns
Endothelium removal 1 ± 5 P<0.005

Mean ± SEM values (n=6 per group). All vessels were preconstricted with 10−5 mol · l−1 norepinephrine, pretreated with 10−4 mol · l−1 l-nitroarginine to inhibit nitric oxide synthase and relaxed with 10−4 mol · l−1 acetylcholine. ns = not significant
