Effects of asiatic acid on vascular function in thoracic aorta. Vasorelaxation responses to exogenous acetylcholine (a) and sodium nitroprusside (b) in thoracic aorta collected 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
