Endothelial Function in a Mouse Model of Myeloperoxidase Deficiency
Figure 3
Individual experiments showing the two types of artery and the two protocols used. Original traces from carotid (upper) and saphenous (lower) arteries. In protocol in (a), a concentration-response experiment to acetylcholine was performed before addition of L-NAME and indomethacin; in (b), L-NAME and indomethacin were given before acetylcholine. Note remaining response to acetylcholine in the presence of L-NAME and indomethacin in saphenous arteries (panel (b), lower). NP: nitroprusside, IM: indomethacin, PE: phenylephrine, and Ach: acetylcholine (from 1 nM to 10 μM in half-log steps).
