Figure 5. Effect of intra-carotid infusion of an NO donor on carotid vascular resistance.

Figure 5

Three of the fetuses that received nitrite but no LNNA were given a bolus of PROLI-NO into the carotid artery at time 0, resulting in a significant decrease in carotid vascular resistance and demonstrating the capacity of the vasculature to respond to NO (P < 0.0001, 1-way ANOVA).
