Figure 3. Rat aorta (RA) contractile function is decreased with increasing concentrations of exogenous ATP.

Figure 3

RA were either left untreated (control, Ctrl) or incubated with exogenous ATP (eATP) in PlasmaLyte for 1 hour. Tissues were suspended on a muscle bath, contracted with phenylephrine (5×10−7) and contractile responses were calculated (n=7–13, *p<0.05 compared to control tissues).
