Tips: 1. For the classification endpoints, the prediction probability values are transformed into six symbols: 0-0.1 (- - -), 0.1-0.3 (- -), 0.3-0.5 (-), 0.5-0.7 (+), 0.7-0.9 (++), and 0.9-1.0 (+++). 2. Additionally, the corresponding relationships of the three labels are as follows: excellent; medium; poor.

                    Regulation
Increase Maximum relaxation
                    In-vivo Model Male New Zealand white rabbits (3 to 3.5kg) were used in this study.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
The study demonstrated a synergistic interaction between the alpha-adrenergic blockade and the potentiation of the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway to increase neurogenic relaxation of trabecular smooth muscle relaxation.
