Combined Contribution of Endothelial Relaxing Autacoides in the Rat Femoral Artery Response to CPCA: An Adenosine A₂ Receptor Agonist

Figure 4

CPCA-induced relaxation in isolated rat femoral artery in the presence of hyperpolarizing solution (KCl = 100 mM) or apamin. Each point represents the mean ± SEM. (𝑛=5−7). Vascular relaxations induced by CPCA are expressed as percentages of the precontraction induced by phenylephrine. ^∗𝑃<0.05 and ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 compared to the control relaxant effect (𝑛 = number of vessels).
