Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of RAS protected against vascular dysfunction induced by Tac in dorsal pancreatic arteries. A ACh-induced vasorelaxation in dorsal pancreatic arteries from mice treated with vehicle, Tac and/or Val ( N = 6). B Ang II, ( C ) PE and ( D ) U46619-induced vasoconstriction in dorsal pancreatic arteries from mice treated with vehicle, Tac and/or Val ( N = 6). E The change in pancreatic blood flow in mice treated with vehicle, Tac and/or Val ( N = 6). (* p < 0.05 versus Control, # p < 0.05 versus Tac). Statistical differences were calculated by two-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test ( A - D ). Statistical differences were calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by Turkey’s post hoc test ( E )
Article Snippet: Plasma Ang II and renin levels were measured by the Mouse Ang II ELISA Kit (E-EL-M2612, Elabscience Biotechnology, China) and the Mouse REN (Renin) ELISA Kit (E-EL-M0061, Elabscience Biotechnology, China), respectively, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Techniques: Inhibition, Control
