Fig. 9. 4-AP does not affect the inhibitory action of the enterin on the
NdWFamide-evoked contraction of the anterior aorta. (A) Relaxation of the
NdWFamide-induced contraction by ENpa in the absence (Ai) or presence (Aii) of
1 mmol l-1 4-AP. The aorta was contracted by 10-7 mol
l-1 NdWFamide, and the action of 10-6 mol l-1
ENpa was tested. (B) The inhibition of the NdWFamide-induced contraction by
ENpa in the absence [4-AP(-)] or the presence [4-AP(+)] of 1 mmol
l-1 4-AP. Histograms show means ± S.E.M. (N=4) of
the normalized NdWFamide-induced contraction in the presence of ENpa.
