Obesity Induces Artery-Specific Alterations: Evaluation of Vascular Function and Inflammatory and Smooth Muscle Phenotypic Markers

Figure 1

Contractile ability in arteries of obese mice. Concentration-response curves to potassium chloride (KCl), U46619, noradrenaline, and serotonin in small mesenteric arteries (a, b, c, and d) and thoracic aorta (e, f, g, and h) from control and obese mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. (KCl and serotonin). –12 (U46619 and noradrenaline).
