Figure 2 Assessment of nitric oxide (NO) release from thoracic aortic segments of mice injected with either saline vehicle (n = 4) or 0.5 mg/kg rosuvastatin (n = 4) 18 h before harvesting tissue. Rosuvastatin significantly (p < 0.05) augmented vascular NO production via NO synthase. L-NAME = N-G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester.
