Effects of intravenous injection of noradrenaline (a–e) and of electrical stimulation of ONP (f–j) on the diameter of ovarian arterioles. a, b, f, g, Sample photographs of ovarian arterioles. c, h, Summary of changes in the diameters of ovarian arterioles. d, e, i, j, Summary of ovarian blood flow (d, i) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (e, j) responses. Each point and vertical bar represents mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; significantly different from the prestimulus control values, as defined by one-way repeated ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. The thin dashed vertical lines and the thick horizontal bars on the abscissae indicate the time of noradrenaline (NA) injection at 5 μg/kg (c–e) or the time of electrical stimulation of the ONP at 10 V and 50 Hz for 20 s (h–j). (a–e, modified from Kanai et al. [21]; f–j, modified from Uchida et al. [22])
