Fig. 1 Effect of intravenous S-nitrosocysteine infusion on mean systemic arterial pressure. Values represent mean ± SD. Asterisks represent a significant change in pressure compared with baseline values (P <.05).

Fig. 3 Effect of intravenous S-nitrosocysteine infusion on regional blood flows. Values are percentage changes from baseline for the superior mesenteric (SMA) , renal, iliac, and coronary arteries. Each symbol represents the mean change in flow. Asterisks represent a significant change in flow compared with baseline values (P <.05).
