Vascular effects of the peptides PYY and PHI: comparison with APP and VIP
Abstract:
Local infusions of PYY (3-100 pmol.min-1) caused a slowly developing vasoconstriction of a long duration in the cat submandibular salivary gland. The vasoconstrictor action of PYY was also present after alpha-adrenoceptor blockade and in sympathectomized animals. Local APP infusions caused only weak vasoconstriction. Infusions of PHI and synthetic PHI caused an atropine-resistant submandibular vasodilation. On a molar basis PHI was, however, almost 1000-fold less potent than VIP as vasodilating agent.

It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
