Figure 6. FCF inhibits P2X7R-mediated contraction in human saphenous vein.

Figure 6

A. Rings of HSV (n=6) were suspended in the muscle bath, either left untreated (control) or treated with 50μM FCF for 30min prior to contraction with BzATP. B. Representative muscle bath force tracings of BzATP-induced contraction in HSV. Results are presented as mean±SD. *P=0.006 vs control in a paired t-test. Expression of P2X7R in HSV as detected by immunohistochemistry using pre-absorbed (C) or normal P2X7R-specific antibody (D). P2X7R were stained red. Scale bar = 200 μm; L= lumen, M=medial.
