Potency (pD2) and Maximum relaxant effect (ME) to acetylcholine in endothelium intact aortic rings from 2K and 2K-1C rats incubated with PBS and BPY (0.1 µM), and ME to acetylcholine in coronary rings from rats with intact (E+) and denuded (E-) endothelium from 2K and 2K-1C incubated with BPY (0.1 µM). Values are ± S.D of n experiments performed on preparations obtained from different animals.
