Table 1. MAP and BM-derived MNIC yields in control and hypertensive Wistar rats.

Parameters	Control	DOCA	P	units
	rats	rats
	(n = 6)	(n = 6)
MAP	114±7	173±7	<0.01	mm Hg
MNIC: basal NOS activity	38±16	29±7*	0.45	pmol/108 cells
MNIC: A23187-stimulated NOS activity	61±27	60±24	0.84	pmol/108 cells
MNIC: L-NAME-inhibited NOS activity	b.d.	b.d.		pmol/108 cells

b.d.: below detection

^*Two BM samples, where MNIC remained below the detection threshold are excluded from this average.
