2. Figure 1
Relaxation of preconstricted endothelium intact (■) and denuded (▴) afferent arterioles. (A) Relaxation by acetylcholine (ACh). Intact, N = 9; denuded, N = 4. (B) Relaxation by sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Intact, N = 5; denuded, N = 4. Denudation abolished response to acetylcholine (*P < 0.05, intact vs. denuded) but did not alter relaxation due to SNP.

3. Figure 2
Effects of nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase (COX), and soluble guanylate cyclase inhibition as well as of elevated [K+] on acetylecholine (ACh)-induced relaxation of afferent arterioles.***P < compared to control. aP < 0.05; bP < compared to Nw-nitro-l-arginine (L-NNA) alone. Symbols are: (■) control; (□) indomethacin; (▴) L-NNA; (▵) methylene blue; (○) L-NNA + methylene blue; (•) L-NNA + K+.

Effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibition and blockade of Ca2+ -activated K+ channels, alone or in combination, on acetylycholine (ACh)-induced relaxation of afferent arterioles. **P < 0.01; ***P < compared to control. aP < 0.05; bP < compared to Nw-nitro-l-arginine (L-NNA) alone. Symbols are: (■) control; (▴) L-NNA; (•) apamin + charybdotoxin; (○) L-NNA + apamin + charybdotoxin.

Effects of Nw-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) and 14, 15-epoxyeicosa-5(Z)-enoic acid (14,15-EEZE), alone or in combination, on acetylcholine (ACh)-induced afferent arteriolar relaxation.*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < compared to control. aP < 0.05; bP < compared to L-NNA alone. Symbols are (■) Control; (▴) L-NNA; (•) EEZE; (○) EEZE + L-NNA.
