Protection by Hypothermia of Hypoxia-Induced Inhibition of Neurogenic Vasodilation in Porcine Cerebral Arteries

Porcine cerebral arterial strips denuded of the endothelium responded to transmural electrical stimulation (5 Hz for 40 s) with a relaxation, which was abolished by tetrodotoxin and N G-nitro-L-arginine, a NO synthase inhibitor. Lowering the temperature of the bathing media from 37°C to 33°C or 25°C...
