Figure 6. Acute superfusion of Tempol restores afferent arteriole autoregulatory behaviour in LPS treated rats.

Figure 6

Acute superfusion of Tempol (10−3 mol L−1) restores afferent arteriole autoregulatory behaviour in LPS treated kidneys. Control and LPS groups are the same as shown in Figure 2. (a): Effect of renal perfusion pressure changes on afferent arteriole diameter in control (black diamonds), LPS (1 mg kg−1; i.p.; grey squares), and LPS + Tempol (blue triangles) kidneys. (b): Data are expressed as a percent of the baseline diameter at 100 mmHg. Each data point represents the mean ± SE. n=6 per group. * P<0.05 vs. baseline diameter in the same group. Ϯ P<0.05 vs. control group for the same perfusion pressure. # P<0.05 vs. Tempol for the same perfusion pressure.
