Figure 5. Dose response of isolated mesenteric resistance arteries to arginine vasopressin after burn.

Figure 5

Vascular reactivity of isolated mesenteric arteries to arginine vasopressin was measured in pressure myography experiments. Data are mean±SEM. *: p<0.05 vs. control. A. Vasoconstriction is expressed as % of the outer diameter (% o.d.) measured before phenylephrine administration. Open squares: Arteries from control animals (n = 7). Grey circles: Arteries from animals 24h post-burn (n = 6). Grey diamonds: Arteries from animals 168h post-burn (n = 6). Dose response curves were calculated with non-linear regression analyses. B. Half-maximal effective concentrations (EC50, pM) from A. C. Hill slopes from A. D. Maximum responses (top plateau - % o.d.) from A.
