Vasorelaxation induced by EAF in the aorta of Wistar normotensive rats (NTRs) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Concentration-response curves were determined in endothelium-intact (E+) or endothelium-denuded (E-) rings. (a) The EAF-induced vasorelaxation in the NTR aorta. (b) EAF-induced vasorelaxation in the SHR aorta. Statistical analyses were performed using a two-way analysis of variance followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. when compared to the vehicle (closed triangles), and when compared to E- (opened squares).
