Effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex), imidazoline, yohimbine, and rauwolscine on contraction tension induced with 5 μM adrenaline. a Representative traces show the effects of Dex on tension. b–e Analyzed data. Changes in contraction tension were normalized to 5 μM adrenaline in each set and expressed as a relative value (in percents). The tensions were measured relative to the adrenaline baseline. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison procedure. Each bar and accompanying line indicate the mean and SE of a group. There were six samples per group. *P < 0.05, compared with 5 μM adrenaline
