The present study was designed to characterize the neurogenic contraction of rat radial artery. Electrical field stimulation (EFS) evoked frequency-dependent contraction that was abolished by tetrodotoxin (neuronal Na+ channel blocker), guanethidine (sympathetic neuron blocker), or phentolamine (α-a...
