Figure 5From: Flaxseed oil increases aortic reactivity to phenylephrine through reactive oxygen species and the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway in ratsEffect of flaxseed oil treatment on vasoconstrictor prostanoids modulation of the vasoconstrictor response to phenylephrine. Phenylephrine concentration-response curves in the aortic rings of control and flaxseed oil-treated rats after NS 398 (A, B), furegrelate (C, D) or SQ 29,548 (E, F) incubation. Densitometric analysis of the western blot for COX-2 (G). Representative blots are also shown. *P <0.05. The number of animals used is indicated in parentheses.Back to article page
