Fig. 4. (A) Tension recording showing the vasodilatory effect of nicotine on the
dorsal aorta. The vessels were preconstricted with endothelin-1 (ET-1;
108 mol l1) and at the point of maximum
constriction, nicotine (3x104 mol
l1) was added, which caused a marked dilation. Similar
results were observed in the intestinal vein. (B) Mean responses (%
vasodilation) of preconstricted dorsal aorta and intestinal vein to nicotine
(3x104 mol l1; N=5).
