  • Each value represents data generated from three to five individual arteries, each from different animals. 95% C.I. = 95% confidence intervals are shown in parentheses.

  • 1-a Not significantly different from unity (P > .05).

  • 1-b Significantly different from large coronary artery without capsaicin by analysis of covariance (P < .05).

  • 1-c Not significantly different from basilar artery without capsaicin by analysis of covariance (P > .05).
