Effect of aging on kinetics of agonist-induced increase in IAS tone: (GPCR versus K+ -depolarization). Time-course data for the IAS contraction with U 46619 (A), Ang II (B) and KCl (C), and the respective maximal increases in the IAS tone (D). Data show that in old rats compared to young rats, the GPCR-activated increases in the IAS tone are selectively and significantly reduced (*P < 0.05; n = 8). Further data analyses (E) reveal that aging significantly and selectively reduces the speeds in the GPCR- but not KCl-mediated IAS contraction (*P < 0.05; n = 8).
