The effects of moderate hypothermia (28 °C) on the response of human varicose spermatic vein to α-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine and the role of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) in these effects were studied. Concentration-response curves for phenylephrine (10 to 3 × 10 M) were recorded in rings with and without endothelium at 37 and 28 °C. To further analyze the role of NO, in the response to phenylephrine during hypothermia, the effects of this agonist in the presence of N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (10 M) were also determined.
