Physiological role of nitric oxide for regulation of arterial stiffness in anesthetized rabbits

We assessed effects of acetylcholine and Nω-Nitro-l-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (l-NAME) on the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), an indicator of arterial stiffness from origin of aorta to tibial artery, in halothane-anesthetized rabbits. Acetylcholine decreased the blood pressure, femoral...
