Figure/Graphic 3a-c: Koronararterien - Relaxation A: Relaxation of bovine coronary arteries during hypoxia (open symbols) and its reversibility by reoxygenation; glibenclamide (2 µM) inhibits hypoxic vasodilation; glibenclamide’s intrinsic relaxing activity can be seen in the reoxygenation curve in form of a slight diminution of recovery; B: Dose dependent inhibition by repaglinide of hypoxic vasodilation; C: Dose dependent inhibition by glimepiride of hypoxic vasodilation. The intrinsic relaxing activity of glimepiride can be seen in form of a 17 % initial relaxation of the arteries. This effect was not so pronounced with repaglinide (B). |
