Oroxylin A, but Not Vasopressin, Ameliorates Cardiac Dysfunction of Endotoxemic Rats

Figure 7

Effects of Oro-A and AVP on force and rate of isolated atrial and ventricular strips from endotoxemic rats. (a) summarizes effects of Oro-A (10 and 20 μM; solid bars) and AVP (0.2 and 0.4 IU/L; open bars) on force and rate of the isolated atrial strips from 5 hr and 16 hr post-LPS rats. (b) summarize effects of Oro-A (10 and 20 μM; solid bar) and AVP (0.2 and 0.4 IU/L; open bars) on electrically-paced force and rate of the ventricular strips from 5 hr post-LPS rats. Values of normal control, and 5 hr or 16 hr post-LPS rats are from Table 1. Values are mean ± SEM ( each group). # versus normal control.
