Fig 7. Effects of the microinjection of saline or the selective eNOS inhibitor L-NIO (5 nmol, 50 nmol) into the PVN on baseline RSNA and MAP in the Control and IR rats.

Fig 7

PVN: paraventricular nucleus; RSNA: renal sympathetic nerve activity; MAP: mean arterial pressure; IR: insulin resistance. n = 6 for each dosage. Each rat only received two injections namely saline and L-NIO infusion on either side of the PVN, and 12 Control rats and 12 IR rats were used in this experiment. The values are presented as the means±SE. *P<0.05 vs. saline. #P<0.05 vs. the Control group.
