eNOSIDV/GAPDH IDV ratios in isolated rat aortic rings.
| Treatment | Ratio | N |
|---|---|---|
| Phe (0.3 μM) | 1.10 ± 0.08 | 5 |
| Phe + ACh (10 μM) | 1.24 ± 0.04 | 8 |
| H2O2 (200 μM) | 1.13 ± 0.03 | 8 |
| TMP (10 nM ) + H2O2 | 1.01 ± 0.03 | 6 |
| Losartan (1 μM ) + H2O2 | 1.13 ± 0.05 | 6 |
| Endothelium removal | 0.32 ± 0.04 | 6 |
Data represent the mean ± the SEM of 5–8 independent experiments.
ACh: acetylcholine; eNOS: endothelial nitric oxide synthase; GADPH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; H2O2: hydrogen peroxide; IDV: integrated density value; Phe: phenylephrine; TMP: tetramethylpyrazine.
