Effect of aortic dysfunction improvement SCT in L-NAME hypertensive rats. (a) Systolic blood pressure measured by tail-cuff method (mmHg). Values are expressed as mean ± S.E. (n = 8 per group). (b) Endothelium-dependent relaxation to Ach in thoracic aorta of each group. (c) Endothelium-dependent relaxation to SNP in thoracic aorta of each group. Values are expressed as mean ± S.E. Student’s t-test on paired or unpaired data was also applied. All statistical analyses were conducted using Sigma Plot 10. , vs. CONT; ^#, ^## vs. L-NAME.
