Concentration-response curves to nitroglycerin (NTG) in the phenylephrine (1 μM) pre-contracted aortic rings isolated from diabeticl rats exposed to NTG for 3 days (■), diabetic rats treated with atorvastatin (10 mg/kg/d p.o.) for 8 weeks and exposed to NTG for 3 days (▲) and diabetic rats treated with atorvastatin (10 mg/kg p.o.) for 3 days and exposed to NTG for 3 days (▼). Data are mean ± SEM. A statistically significant difference was observed between diabetic (3 days NTG) rats comparing with diabetic rats (3 days NTG) treated with atorvastatin (10 mg/kg/d p.o.) for 3 days ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05. There is not significant difference between diabetic (3 days NTG) rats comparing with diabetic rats (3 days NTG) treated with atorvastatin (10 mg/kg p.o.) for 8 weeks (P > 0.05).
