Strain-dependent variation in vascular responses to nitric oxide in the isolated murine heart.

Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies in the literature have employed gene-modified mice to investigate vascular function. However, only very limited information exists on baseline murine vascular physiology or on potential variations between different strains. We therefore compared coronary and aortic vascular responses to endothelium-derived vasodilators and exogenous nitric oxide (NO) in three commonly used mouse strains and...
