From: Microvascular dysfunction in the course of metabolic syndrome induced by high-fat diet
Microvascular function in MetS and I-MetS mice. A, Norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction was significantly increased, acetylcholine-induced relaxation was reduced and responses to sodium nitroprusside were increased in MetS mice. B, Similarly to MetS, the I-MetS group also presented increased vasoconstriction but without differences in relaxation responses. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 10 mice/group, *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
