  1. Potency (pEC50) of acetylcholine (ACh), sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and phenylephrine (PHE) obtained from concentration-response curves in mesenteric and pulmonary rings from saline (SAL); taurocholate (TAU) and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) groups. Potency is represented as -log of the molar concentration to produce 50% of the maximal response. Data are mean ± SEM for 5–9 animals. * different from SAL (P < 0.05).
