The AC inhibiting effects of norepinephrine and somatostatin in the myocardium of diabetic and nondiabetic rats with and without IS treatment. a—norepinephrine (10−5 M) and b—somatostatin-14 (10−6 М). The AC stimulating effect of forskolin (10−5 M) in the absence of hormone is taken as 100%. The data are presented as M SD.
