Calcification and endothelial relaxation of human saphenous vein. The vein segments were equilibrated in a muscle bath and contracted with phenylephrine (10−6 M) and relaxed with carbachol (10−7 M) to measure the endothelial relaxation. The endothelial relaxation of veins with calcification was significantly lower compared to non-calcified veins (p = 0.0011, n = 12–28).
