Figure 5. Effect of apocynin on hypoxia-upregulated myogenic tone of uterine arteries.
Uterine arteries were isolated from near-term pregnant sheep maintained at sea level (control) or exposed to high-altitude hypoxia for 110 days. Pressure-dependent myogenic tone of uterine arteries was determined in the absence or presence of apocynin (100 µmol/L). Data are means ± SEM of tissues from 5 animals of each group. *, P<0.05, versus +apocynin.
