Endothelium-dependent relaxation in rat aortae in the presence of pyrogallol (P). Cumulative concentration-response curves to ACh in the absence (control) or presence of pyrogallol with varying concentrations of α-tocopherol (a), α-tocotrienol (b), δ-tocotrienol (c), and γ-tocotrienols (d). Data is expressed as mean ± SEM. ^*Significantly different to control . ^#Significantly different to pyrogallol Sidak’s multiple comparison test.
