Figure 3 The forearm blood flow (FBF) variations in response to brachial artery sodium nitroprusside (SNP) infusion. Sodium nitroprusside (0.5 and 1.0 µg/min) was infused into the brachial artery, and FBF variations (expressed in ml/min per 100 ml) were recorded using venous occlusion plethysmography. The FBF variations are shown before and after S 18886 (top) or placebo (bottom). Statistical analysis was performed on the area under the curve of FBF. No significant differences were observed between the post-treatment values recorded in the S 18886 and placebo groups (analysis of covariance).
