Vascular ET-1 receptors expression and effect of ET-1 on phenylephrine contraction in MRA. ETA and ETB mRNA levels in aortic (a) and mesenteric (b) segments from WKY and SHR; *P < 0.05 by Student's t test. (c) Effect of ET-1 (1 nM, 90 min) on the concentration-response curve to phenylephrine (Phe) in endothelium-intact (E+) and denuded (E-) segments from WKY and SHR; *P < 0.05 by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures followed by Sidak post hoc test. Differences of the area under the concentration-response curve (dAUC) to Phe in E+ and E- segments from SHR are also shown; *P < 0.05 by Student's t test. (d) Effect of BQ123 (1 µM) and BQ788 (1 µM) on the response to Phe in E+ segments from SHR treated with ET-1; *P < 0.05 vs control; #P < 0.05 vs ET-1 by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures followed by Tukey post hoc test. (e) Effect of ET-1 on the vascular expression of PPARγ; statistical analysis by Student's t test. n denotes number of experiments.
