Effects of DP, Hy-DP and 5-uRCK on thoracic aorta function. Representative traces of vascular relaxant responses induced by ACh (a), 5-uRCK (b), DP (c) and Hy-DP (d) in rat thoracic aortae precontracted with 10 μM PHE. Percentages of relaxation in response to increasing concentrations of ACh, L-arginine (Arg) and GABA (e); DP and Hy-DP (f); and 5-uRCK (g) in aortic rings from SD rats. The relaxation (%) values (mean ± SEM) are relative to the basal (submaximal) relaxation levels measured before PHE treatment, which were taken to be 100%. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001 vs DP-treated aortae
