Role of LRP in α-defensin–mediated vasocontractility.
The contraction of aortic rings was induced by PE in the presence of 1 μM α-defensin (Def), α-defensin and 100 nM anti-LDL receptor antibody (anti-LDLR), α-defensin and 20 nM anti-LRP antibody (anti-LRP), α-defensin and 20 nM rRAP (rRAP), or PE with no additives (Cont).
