(a) Carbachol- (CCh-) induced relaxation in the mesenteric arteries of YWR and control MAWR (, , MAWR versus YWR). (b) Relaxation curves to CCh in the mesenteric arteries from MAWR and MOI MAWR in the absence and in the presence of L-NAME (100 μM) (, MAWR+L-NAME versus MAWR; , , MOI MAWR+L-NAME versus MOI MAWR). (c) Histograms showing the area under the curve (AUC) without and with L-NAME for YWR, MAWR, and MOI MAWR (, MAWR versus YWR; , MOI MAWR versus MAWR; , , without L-NAME versus with L-NAME in the same group; MOI MAWR+L-NAME versus MAWR+L-NAME). Results were expressed in of rats.
