3.4.1 PRINCIPLES OF THE STANDARD PROCEDURE
The standard start procedure consists of a series
of five stimuli and washout periods. The first two
stimuli are performed using a mixture of KPSS
and 10 μM noradrenaline to give a maximum
contractile response. The third stimulus is
performed using a mixture of PSS and 10 μM
noradrenaline to give a maximum pure agonist
mediated (α-adrenoceptor) contraction. The
fourth stimulus is performed using KPSS to give
a depolarising contractile response (this stimulus
also includes a component from neurally released
noradrenaline). The final stimulus is performed
using a mixture of PSS and 10 μM noradrenaline.
All solutions are preheated to 37
°C
and aerated
with a mixture of 95% O
2
and 5% CO
2
before use.
Instructions for making the necessary solutions
are described in appendix 1.

3.4 STANDARD START
The purpose of performing a standard start is to:
1. Re-activate the mechanical and functional
properties of the vessel segment.
2. Check that responses to different types of
stimuli are normal in appearance and thereby
ensuring that the functionality of the vessel
segment has not been damaged during the
dissection or mounting procedures.
3. Ensure that the tension development gives
an effective active pressure that is above the
chosen accepted value (usually 13.3 kPa =
100 mmHg).
