Figure 3From: Short-term administration of growth hormone (GH) lowers blood pressure by activating eNOS/nitric oxide (NO)-pathway in male hypophysectomized (Hx) ratsEffect of a single dos of L-NAME (15 mg/kg, s.c.) on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in hypophysectomized (Hx, solid line), growth hormone supplemented Hx (GH, solid squares) and in intact rats (solid triangles). The L NAME injection was given early, at day three or four (see in method section for further information) after onset of GH treatment. *indicates p<0.05 between GH and intact or Hx animals.Back to article page
