(a) Effect of the agonists on [Ca2+]i in HUVEC in the absence and presence of H2O2. (b) Kinetics of calcium response to 5-HT in the absence and presence of H2O2. Concentration of H2O2 was 100 μM. Grey arrow indicates addition of H2O2 or vehicle. Concentrations of the agonists were 5 μg/mL for SFLLRN, 10-7 M for bradykinin, and 10-5 M for histamine, 5-HT, carbachol, or ADP. Each value is the mean of 6 to 9 measurements ± SEM (; ).
