[Retracted] α1-Adrenergic Receptor Blockade by Prazosin Synergistically Stabilizes Rat Peritoneal Mast Cells

Figure 5

Effects of α1- or α2-adrenergic receptor agonists on mast cell degranulation. Effects of different concentrations (1, 10, and 100 μM and 1 mM) of phenylephrine (a) and clonidine (b). After the mast cells were incubated in the external solutions containing no drug or either drug, exocytosis was induced by compound 48/80. The numbers of degranulating mast cells were expressed as percentages of the total mast cell numbers in selected bright fields. Values are . Differences were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test.
