3 Fig. 2 Graph showing the concentration-response to norepinephrine (NE ) of arteries exposed to 200 μmol/L homocysteine (HC ) in the absence (○) and presence (▵) of 1200 U/mL catalase and 120 U/mL SOD.

6 Fig. 5 Diameter tracing of a denuded artery contracted with norepinephrine (NE ) and given a single concentration (150 μmol/L) of homocysteine (HC ), demonstrating the vasodilating effect of homocysteine.

7 Fig. 6 Graph showing the concentration-response characteristics to homocysteine (HC ) of both intact (●) and denuded (○) arteries. Arteries were contracted with an intermediate concentration of norepinephrine (NE ), and homocysteine was added cumulatively to the arteriograph bath. *P <.05; **P <.01.
