Figure 3From: Flaxseed oil increases aortic reactivity to phenylephrine through reactive oxygen species and the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway in ratsEffect of flaxseed oil treatment on NO modulation of the vasoconstrictor response to phenylephrine. Phenylephrine concentration-response curves after L-NAME incubation (A, B) in the aortic rings of control and flaxseed oil treated rats. Difference in the area under the concentration-response curves (dAUC) in the presence and absence of L-NAME (C). *P <0.05. The number of animals used is indicated in parentheses.Back to article page
