The adenosine transporter blocker, dipyridamole, reduced NE oxidation currents. The effects of dipyridamole were tested NE oxidation currents evoked by a 10 Hz stimulus train. (A) Dipyridamole caused a reduction of NE current in sham MAs, but not in MVs. (B) Dipyridamole produced an increase in neurogenic contraction in sham MAs, but not in MVs. (C and D) Dipyridamole did not alter the amplitude of NE oxidation currents (C) and neurogenic contraction (D) in DOCA-salt arteries. Data are mean ± S.E.M. ^#Significantly different from baseline values. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Dunnett’s post hoc test. N indicates the number of animals in the experiment.
