(A) U46619‐induced contraction was not significantly different in WT and KO thoracic aorta rings in the absence of PVAT. In vessels with attached PVAT, there was a significant reduction in contraction in WT but not KO aortic rings. (n = 7; *P < 0.05). (B) The presence of PVAT significantly augmented the relaxation to chromakalim in WT aortic rings [n = 7; *P < 0.05 vs. PVAT(−)]. (C) In aortic rings from AMPKα1 KO mice, the presence of PVAT had no effect on relaxation to cromakalim (n = 7).
