Figure 6

Effect of methyl mercury chloride treatment on ROS modulation of NO-mediated vasodilator response to ACh. % change in Ach (10 μM) response curve in aortic segments precontracted with phenylephrine in the presence and the absence of SOD + catalase along with L-NAME in the two experimental groups. * , compared with the response to ACh in the presence of L-NAME + SOD and catalase from untreated group. , compared with the response to ACh in the presence of L-NAME + SOD and catalase in methyl-mercury-chloride-treated group (L-NAME).
