Sodium nitrite treatment improves vascular tone regulation in progeroid mice. Wire myography in thoracic aorta rings from 14-week-old LmnaG609G/G609G and wild-type mice (Lmna+/+) treated with sodium nitrite in drinking water for 6 weeks. (A) Endothelium-dependent vasodilation induced by acetylcholine. (B) Endothelium-independent vasodilation induced by diethylamine NONOate (DEA-NO). (C) Contraction induced by phenylephrine. (D) Contraction induced by KCl. Statistical differences were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post-hoc test for acetylcholine, DEA-NO and phenylephrine data, and by two-tailed t-test for KCl data. * p < 0.05.
