(a) In vitro nitrite productions from various groups’ isolated aortas under challenge with acetylcholine (1 μM) and (b) eNOS mRNA expressions in various groups’ isolated aortas. The expression level of eNOS was normalized to that of the GAPDH. Data are expressed as means ± SEM, 𝑛=4−6. ^#𝑃<0.05 represents significant differences when compared with the Control. *𝑃<0.05 represents significant differences when compared with the HCD. The number in parentheses is 𝑛 for individual group.
