Concentration-response curves to adenosine with and without the presence of some specific ion channel blockers in denuded isolated rat aortic rings. a In the presence of 1 mM 4-aminopyridine (■). b In the presence of 1 mM 5-Hydroxydecanoate (■). c In the presence of 10 μM glibenclamide (■). d In the presence of 100 μM ouabain (■). Control denuded rings (♦). Relaxation is expressed as percent of maximal relaxation to 100 μM papaverine. Points represent mean ± S.E.M of aortic rings from a total of eight animals. *P < 0.05 statistical difference in responses between the presence and the absence of inhibitors on denuded rings
