Figure 9.

Main findings on polar metabolites in the aortic block and the arginine catabolic pathway. Interquartile range has been colored green, blue, and red for the SHAM, HCD, and ANG groups respectively. Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon testing was used for comparing group medians pairwise. Legend: ADMA: asymmetric dimethylarginine; t4OH-Proline: trans4-hydroxyproline; NOS: nitric oxide synthase; ODC: ornithine decarboxylase; DDAH: dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase; DMA: dimethylarginine; SAM: S-adenosyl methionine; SMSA: S-methyl-thioadenosine; *: p ≤ 0.05; **: p ≤ 0.01.
