The relaxant effect of the HEMC in isolated rat thoracic artery. Cumulative concentration-response curves for the HEMC (a) or acetylcholine (Ach) (b), a well-known endothelium-dependent vasorelaxant (positive control), in rings of thoracic artery with endothelium (E⁺, n = 6) and without endothelium (E⁻, n = 6) precontracted with phenylephrine (0.1 μM). The data points represent the mean ± SEM of the relaxing effect expressed as a percentage. Significant difference ^∗∗∗ P < 0.001 (E⁺ versus E⁻).
