Effects of HDR-2 on thoracic aorta function. Representative traces of vascular relaxant responses induced by HDR-2 (a) in rat thoracic aortae precontracted with 10 μM PHE. Percent relaxation in response to increasing concentrations of HDR-2 (b) in aortic rings from SD rats. Lack of effect of L-NAME and ODQ on rat thoracic aorta relaxation induced by HDR-2 (c). Vasorelaxant effects of DP, Hy-DP, 5-uRCK and HDR-2 in thoracic aortae with denuded endothelia (−E) and intact endothelia (+E) (d). Inhibition of the vasorelaxant effects of DP, Hy-DP, 5-uRCK and HDR-2 in endothelium-free thoracic aortae precontracted with 10 μM PHE (e). 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 the CTL group
