2. Fig 1
In vitro responses of precontracted ileal microvessels to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator ADP from control pigs, and pigs in the saline and C5a MAb groups. Responses are expressed as % relaxation of U46619-induced precontraction. (ADP = adenosine 5′-diphosphate. † p less than 0.05 versus control and C5a MAb groups at 10−6 M ADP.)

3. Fig 2
In vitro responses of precontracted ileal microvessels to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator substance P from control pigs and pigs in the saline and C5a MAb groups. Responses are expressed as % relaxation of U46619-induced precontraction. ∗ p less than 0.01 and † p less than 0.05 versus control and C5a MAb groups at 10−7 and 10−8 M substance P.

4. Fig 3
In vitro responses of precontracted ileal microvessels to the endothelium-independent cyclic GMP-mediated vasodilator SNP from control pigs and pigs in the saline and C5a MAb groups. Responses are expressed as % relaxation of U46619-induced precontraction. (SNP = sodium nitroprusside.)

5. Fig 4
In vitro responses of precontracted ileal microvessels to the endothelium-independent cyclic AMP-mediated vasodilator isoproterenol from control pigs and pigs in the saline and C5a MAb groups. Responses are expressed as % relaxation of U46619-induced precontraction.

6. Fig 5
In vitro contraction responses of noncontracted ileal microvessels to phenylephrine from control pigs and pigs in the saline and C5a MAb groups. Responses are expressed as % diameter change of base line diameter. Minus denotes contraction. † p less than 0.05 versus control and C5a MAb groups.

7. Fig 6
In vitro contraction responses of noncontracted ileal microvessels to the PKC activator phorbol ester (10 μmol/L) from control pigs and pigs in the saline and C5a MAb groups. Responses are expressed as % diameter change of base line diameter over time. Minus denotes contraction. † p less than 0.05 versus control and C5a MAb groups.

Ileal content of iNOS protein (Western blotting) in control pigs and pigs in saline and C5a MAb groups. B-actin was used to evaluate proper protein loading and transfer.

Expression of iNOS mRNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the ileum of control pigs and pigs in saline and C5a Mab groups. GAPDH was used to determine equal RT-PCR reaction among groups.
