Nitric oxide mediates inhibitory effect of losartan on angiotensin-induced contractions in hamster but not rat aorta

We investigated a possible contribution of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins to the inhibitory effect of losartan on contractions to Ang I (10 -6 M) and Ang II (10 -7 M) with or without L-NAME (10 -4 M) or indomethacin (10 -5 M) in the aorta of WKY, SHR and hamster (n=7 each). Rings of thoracic a...
