Vascular Dysfunction in Horses with Endocrinopathic Laminitis (original) (raw)
Fig 3
Cumulative concentration response curves to acetylcholine (ACh) of intact [A] laminar arteries, [B] laminar veins and [C] facial skin arteries from healthy horses (●, n = 6) and horses with endocrinopathic laminitis (○, n = 6).
The horizontal line indicates baseline values prior to contraction with phenylephrine. Data are expressed as a percentage of maximal contraction in response to high potassium saline (KPSS). Data are mean ± SEM. Curves were compared using two-way ANOVA. *P<0.05, **P<0.005. Laminar arteries, veins and facial skin arteries of horses with EL relaxed significantly less than those from healthy horses.
