From: In a rat model of bypass DuraGraft ameliorates endothelial dysfunction of arterial grafts
Effect of DuraGraft on contractile responses after cold ischemia followed by blood reperfusion. Contractile responses to (A) high potassium-induced depolarization (control: n = 14 rings from 7 rats; IR: n = 18 rings from 9 rats; IR + Duragraft: n = 17 rings from 9 rats) and (B) phenylephrine (expressed as a percentage of the maximum contraction induced by 80 mM potassium chloride (KCl)) (control: n = 14 rings from 7 rats; IR: n = 18 rings from 9 rats; IR + Duragraft: n = 17 rings from 9 rats). The results are presented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 versus control and #p < 0.05 versus IR.
