Gd3+, La3+, and low dose Ni2+ inhibit 5-HT-elicited pulmonary arterial ring contractility in sheep. Bars indicate mean±S.E.M. based on isometric tension recordings of pulmonary arterial rings from adult sheep constricted with 10 μM 5-HT in the absence or presence of 500 μM Ni2+, 100 μM Gd3+, or 100 μM La3+ in normoxic (open) or LTH (solid) sheep. Values of the 5-HT-induced contraction are expressed as % T5-HT Control for the noted condition. ***p<0.001 denotes significant difference by 2-way ANOVA.
