FIGURE 2.

SOCE-induced vasoconstriction of the aorta and mesenteric arteries. Representative traces of 2.5 mM Ca²⁺ application-induced vessel contraction after 4 μM TG treatment for 10 minutes in the aorta (A and B) and mesenteric arteries (D and E) from Young and aged rats. Data showing vessel tension changes in response to extracellular Ca²⁺ application after TG treatment in the aorta (C) and mesenteric arteries (F) from young and aged rats. Values are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 4–15); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Young (3 months old) versus aged (22 months old).
