FIGURE 8.
Effects of saline, L-THA, L-NPA, Indomethacin, and L-NPA or Indomethacin with L-THA on arteriole diameter. Saline, L-THA (100 μM), L-NPA (2 μM), Indomethacin (10 μM), or a combination of NPA or Indomethacin with L-THA were picospritzed near cortical arterioles. (A) Data are presented as boxplots. Forest plots are also included to show the mean differences expressed as ratios of the effect observed with NPA with L-THA (B) or Indomethacin with L-THA (C) over that observed with L-THA. The redline is at 1 and represents no difference. The data for saline and L-THA are described in Figure 4 legend, the data for NPA are from 5 animals (4 males, 1 female), the data for NPA with L-THA are from 5 animals (3 males, 2 females), the data from Indomethacin are from 8 animals (3 males, 5 females) and the data for Indomethacin with L-THA are from 6 animals (3 males, 3 females).
