Cumulative dose responses to various concentrations of nitroglycerin (NTG) in the aortic rings from sham-operated animals (Sham) and septic animals treated with normal saline (Vehicle) or ghrelin (Ghrelin) at 20 h after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The data are presented as percent (%) vascular relaxation, expressed as means ± SE (n=8/group), and compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student-Newman-Keuls method: *P<0.05 versus sham-operated animals; #P<0.05 versus CLP animals treated with vehicle.
