Figure 4

Membrane potential (MP) in unrubbed aortic rings from SR (white bars), NefR (black bars), and NefR-T (gray bars) in basal conditions (Krebs) and the effect of administration of L-NAME 10⁻⁴ M. ***𝑃<0.001 NefR basal versus SR basal; *𝑃<0.05 NefR-T basal versus SR basal; ⁺⁺SR L-NAME 𝑃<0.01 versus SR basal; ⁺𝑃<0.05 NefR-T L-NAME versus NefR-T basal; ^†𝑃<0.05 NefR-T basal versus NefR basal. Two way ANOVA. Data are expressed as mean ± standard error. The number of rings is given in parentheses.
