Effects of asiatic acid on vascular function in mesenteric vascular beds. Contractile responses to sympathetic nerve stimulation (a); exogenous norepinephrine (b); vasorelaxation responses to exogenous acetylcholine (c); sodium nitroprusside (d) in mesenteric vascular beds isolated from control, MS and MS + AA rats. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 6 for each group), p < 0.05. * vs. control group, #vs. MS group. Normal control = normal control rats, MS = metabolic syndrome rats, MS + AA = metabolic syndrome rats treated with asiatic acid
