Cumulative concentration–response curves to ACh (A) and SNP (B) (1 × 10−8 to 1 × 10−5 M) to analyse endothelium-dependent and smooth muscle-dependent vasodilation in mouse thoracic aorta, respectively (n=8) following either chronic CS or sham exposure in either IAV-infected or diluent (Dil)-treated mice. Results expressed as percentage of mean relaxation relative to initial preconstriction ± SEM. * indicates statistical significance P<0.05 between datasets by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons.

Viral infection exacerbates endothelial dysfunction following exposure to CS

Cumulative concentration–response curves to ACh (A) and SNP (B) (1 × 10⁻⁸ to 1 × 10⁻⁵ M) to analyse endothelium-dependent and smooth muscle-dependent vasodilation in mouse thoracic aorta, respectively (n=8) following either chronic CS or sham exposure in either IAV-infected or diluent (Dil)-treated mice. Results expressed as percentage of mean relaxation relative to initial preconstriction ± SEM. * indicates statistical significance P<0.05 between datasets by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons.
