Figure 2From: Flaxseed oil increases aortic reactivity to phenylephrine through reactive oxygen species and the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway in ratsEffect of flaxseed oil treatment on endothelial modulation of the vasoconstrictor response to phenylephrine. Phenylephrine concentration-response curves after endothelium removal (A, B, C) in the aortic rings of control and flaxseed oil treated rats. E-: endothelium-denuded. Difference in the area under the concentration-response curves (dAUC) in endothelium–denuded and intact segments (D). *P < 0.05. The number of animals used is indicated in parentheses.Back to article page
