Effect of brain death (BD) on contractile and relaxant responses. Contractile responses (a) to high K+-induced depolarization and b for phenylephrine (percentage of the maximum contraction induced by potassium chloride (KCl)), and c acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent and d sodium nitroprusside-induced endothelium-independent vasorelaxation of isolated aortic rings. Values are mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs. sham. n = 24–26 rings from 6 to 7 rats
