From: Flaxseed oil increases aortic reactivity to phenylephrine through reactive oxygen species and the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway in rats

Figure 6

Effect of flaxseed oil treatment on ROS modulation of the vasoconstrictor response to phenylephrine. Phenylephrine concentration-response curves in the aortic rings of control and flaxseed oil-treated rats after apocynin (A, B), tiron (C, D) or catalase (E, F) incubation. Vascular superoxide anion production in segments of aorta (G). Upper: representative fluorescent photomicrographs of confocal microscopic arterial sections labeled with the oxidative dye hydroethidine. Below: vascular superoxide anion quantification. *P < 0.05. The number of animals used is indicated in parentheses.
