Figure 8

Effect of (BQ-123) or (BQ-788) antagonists or the SOD mimic Tempol on ET-1-induced intracellular (a) and extracellular (b) Ca2+ mobilization in endothelium-intact (E+) contralateral carotid rings isolated from operated rats at the sixteenth day after surgery. Significant difference () from rat control carotid rings () or rat contralateral carotid rings (#) in the absence of the respective antagonist or scavenger. One-way ANOVA; Bonferroni post hoc test.
