Table 2. Emax and pEC50 values of vasoconstriction induced by selective agonists in human pulmonary arteries from non-asthmatic (Control, n = 8) and asthmatic (Asthma, n = 6) patients. Values are means±s.e.mean derived from (n) different patients. Emax indicates maximal vasoconstriction effect. (NC) indicates not calculable. Ring were treated for 30 min with L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (1 mmol/L) and salicylic acid (100 µmol/L) before vasoconstriction protocols.
