ASP⁺ uptake is reduced by transporter inhibitors. Mesenteric PVAT was incubated with inhibitors of transport or vehicle for 10 min followed by the addition of ASP⁺ (2 μM). Data are reported as percent uptake from vehicle. Numbers above the bars indicate numbers of animals (N) used in each experiment. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, and ***P < 0.001 vs. vehicle; #P < 0.05 vs. corticosterone. Representative images from each experiment are located beneath the corresponding bar.
