FIGURE 1

Endothelium-dependent and–independent responses and the contribution of NO and EDH pathways in isolated aortic rings (A,B) and the endothelium-dependent and–independent responses in mesenteric (C,D) rings from SMC-KO mice (open circles, bar) versus rings from SMC-LM (filled circles, bar) measured ex vivo in small wire organ baths. Relaxations are calculated relative to the contraction produced by U46619 30 mmol/L in each ring, which are set at 100%. Values are expressed as means ± SEM; n, number of mice; *, p < 0.05, GLM for repeated measures. #, p < 0.05, two-sided t-test.
