Lipid Emulsion Attenuates Acetylcholine-Induced Relaxation in Isolated Rat Aorta
Figure 4
(a) Effect of Lipofundin MCT/LCT (0.2%, ) on sodium nitroprusside (SNP) concentration-response curves in the endothelium-intact aorta. Data are the mean SD and are expressed as the percentage of maximal precontraction induced by 3 10−7 M phenylephrine. indicates the number of rats from which descending thoracic aortic rings were derived. , , and versus control. (b) Effect of Lipofundin MCT/LCT (0.2%, ) on the SNP concentration-response curves in the endothelium-denuded aorta. Data are the mean SD and are expressed as the percentage of maximal precontraction induced by 10−7 M phenylephrine. indicates the number of rats from which descending thoracic aortic rings were derived.
