Study on the probable action mode of AmV. Vasoconstrictor effects of AmV: (A) Ca2+-free medium (O, n = 5); (B) pretreatment with phentolamine (5 μM; □, n = 5); (C) pretreatment with verapamil (10 μM; Δ, n = 5). Vasoconstrictor effects are expressed as a percentage of the contractile response to K+ (60 mM). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM and analyzed by ANOVA followed by the Holm-Sidak posttest.
