Oroxylin A, but Not Vasopressin, Ameliorates Cardiac Dysfunction of Endotoxemic Rats
Figure 5
Effects of Oro-A and AVP on the RPP of isolated hearts from endotoxemic rats. (a) summarizes effects of Oro-A (10 and 20 μM, solid bar) and AVP (0.2 and 0.4 IU/L, open bar) on RPP in constant pressure heart preparation from 5 hr or 16 hr post-LPS rats. (b) summarizes effects of Oro-A (solid bar) and AVP (open bar) on RPP in constant flow heart preparation from 5 hr or 16 hr post-LPS rats. Values of normal control and 5 hr and 16 hr post-LPS rats are from Table 1. Values are mean ± SEM ( each group). * versus respective LPS groups; # versus normal control. RPP (rate-pressure product).
