Table 2.

Effects of different pharmacological treatments, in the absence or presence of kaempferol (3 × 10−6 M), on the EC50 and Emax values of concentration–relaxation curves of bradykinin (10−11 to 10−6 M) in porcine coronary arteries contracted by U46619 (3 × 10−8 M)

n = 6–8 in each group.

*

P < 0.05 versus control group

#

P < 0.05 versus respective group without kaempferol. Iberiotoxin, inhibitor of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels; L-NAME, inhibitor of NOS; ODQ, inhibitor of soluble GC; TRAM-34, inhibitor of intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels; UCL 1684, inhibitor of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels.
