Figure 5

Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation with presence of insulin. A: Vehicle treated SD rats. The presence of insulin increased the vasorelaxation at low doses (P < 0.05). SD+V: Vehicle treated Sprague-Dawley rats. H+V: Vehicle treated DH rats. H+C: Capto treated DH rats. B: Vehicle treated DH rats. The presence of insulin increased the vasorelaxation at most doses (P < 0.05). C: Capto treated DH rats. The presence of insulin increased the vasorelaxation at every dose (P < 0.05). D: RBX treated DH rats. The presence of insulin increased the vasorelaxation at every dose (P < 0.05). n = 7; *: P < 0.05 vs. without presence of insulin at the doses. #: P < 0.05 vs. without presence of insulin using ANOVA.
