Endothelium-dependent relaxation of the ophthalmic artery attributed to EDHF via arachidonic acid metabolites. Concentration-response curves to ACh (10−9–10−4 M) in the presence of (a) CYP450 inhibitor, 17-ODYA and (b) LOX inhibitor, baicalein. Blocking of the CYP450 pathway conferred a negligible inhibitory effect on ACh-induced vasodilation, whereas, inhibition of the LOX pathway elicited significant attenuation of vasodilation. Values are expressed as mean ± s.e.m (n = 6 per group; ***P < 0.001, L-NAME and indomethacin vs L-NAME and indomethacin and baicalein).
