From: Carotid smooth muscle contractility changes after severe burn
(a) Carotid smooth muscle contractility in burn rats with the cumulative dose of KCl time response. *, p < 0.05, versus control; (b) The cumulative dose response of rat carotid smooth muscle contractile in rats with norepinephrine (NE) stimulation. + +, p < 0.05, versus higher dose groups; (c) The effect of days after burn on the NE dose–response of carotid smooth muscle contractility. #, p < 0.05, versus other groups; (d) Carotid smooth muscle contractile alterations in burn rats with AngII stimulation. #, p < 0.05, versus others; (e) Precontracted carotid smooth muscle relaxation in burn rats with SNP stimulation, and (f) Ach stimulation over the time. *, p < 0.05, versus control; +, versus 3, 7, 14 days (d). The number of animals was 9, 7, 7, 7, 7 and 6 in the control, 6 h, 24 h, 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days group, respectively. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post hoc Holm-Sidak method was applied. Data were presented as mean ± SEM.
