Expression of AVP and OXT receptors in human umbilical vein. a, b mRNA and protein levels of AVP receptors in HUV were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. c Effects of SR49059 on AVP-mediated vasoconstrictions in HUV (N = 13, n = 25 each group). d, e mRNA and protein levels of OXT receptor in HUV. f Effects of atosiban on OXT-mediated vasoconstrictions in HUV (N = 14, n = 28 each group). SR49059, AVPR1a-specific antagonist; Atosiban, OXT-specific antagonist. Error bars denote SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ns no significances, N number of participants, n number of HUV rings
