Enhanced Endothelin A and B Receptor Expression and Receptor-Mediated Vasoconstriction in Rat Mesenteric arteries after Lipopolysaccharide Challenge
Figure 1
Functional assay (myograph) experiments showed enhanced CRCs of vasoconstriction mediated by (a) ETB and (C) ETA and increased Max of agonists for (b) ETB and (d) ETA in VSMC of mesenteric arteries in rats received LPS (5 mg/kg body weight) injection for 6 hrs. Data are expressed as . Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test (CRC) or unpaired Student’s -test (Max), , , , versus NS, (NS) or 4 (LPS) animals for each data point.
