Reserpine was administered prior to the experiment, and the effect of reserpine combined with PBS, XE-991, retigabine or IC-27243 are therefore indicated by the differences in baselines prior to 3,4-DAP, whereas the response to PBS, XE-991 or retigabine in reserpinized SHR are shown in parenthesis below. Significant differences between the WKY and SHR control groups (*), between corresponding control and experimental groups () were detected as indicated.
