Vascular reactivity in the radial artery was assessed by establishing drug response curves with the endothelial-dependent vasodilator, methacholine (A), the endothelial independent-vasodilator, sodium nitroprusside (B), and the vasoconstrictor, phenylephrine (C). Significance was assessed by comparing overall reactivity via a four-parameter nonlinear regression analysis. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 7–9, *Significantly different (p < 0.05) from filtered air controls
