Endothelial dysfunction in 5/6 NX rats and the effect of VS-105. Sham and 5/6 NX rats were treated with vehicle or VS-105 at indicated doses as described in Figure 3. Vascular function was determined as described in Methods (n = 7–10 per group). (A) Acetylcholine-evoked relaxation. (B) SNP-evoked relaxation. Group mean ± SEM are presented. Statistical analysis was determined using a two-way anova, followed by a Bonferroni post hoc test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus vehicle.
