Figure 2. Pressure elevation evokes Rho-associated kinase-mediated increase in MYPT1-T855 phosphorylation in rat gracilis arteries.

Figure 2

A and B, representative blots of MYPT1-T697 and MYPT1-T855 phosphorylation and corresponding levels of actin in each lane (upper) and means ±s.e.m. of phosphoprotein content normalized to actin expressed as a fraction of the value at 10 mmHg (lower) in samples derived from rat gracilis arteries pressurized to 10, 80, 120 and 140 mmHg ± H1152 (0.5 μmol l−1) (n= 7 blots with 1–2 arterial segments per sample). #,*Significant difference (P < 0.05) from value at 10 mmHg and in control solution at each pressure, respectively. pMYPT1, MYPT1 phosphorylation.
