Figure 7

Effect of vitamin D, L-NAME, and PEG-CAT on vasodilation of SAT arterioles collected three months after bariatric surgery (n = 8). FID measurements corresponding to intraluminal pressure gradients of 10–100 cm H2O in SAT arterioles at baseline and after incubation with L-NAME, PEG-CAT, vitamin D, vitamin D plus L-NAME, and vitamin D plus PEG-CAT (A,C). AchID measurements corresponding to increasing Ach concentrations (10−9 to 10−4 M) in SAT arterioles at baseline and after incubation with L-NAME, vitamin D, and vitamin D plus L-NAME (B). All measures are represented as means ± SE; ₸ p < 0.05 comparing L-NAME or PEG-CAT with baseline, and * p < 0.05 comparing L-NAME + vitamin D with vitamin D alone.
