Activity Exerted by a Testosterone Derivative on Myocardial Injury Using an Ischemia/Reperfusion Model

Figure 7

Activity exerted by the testosterone derivative on LVP through of adrenergic receptors. Testosterone derivative [0.001 to 100 nM] was administered (intracoronary boluses, 50 μL) and the corresponding effect on the LVP was evaluated in the absence and presence of prazosin or metoprolol. The results showed that activity induced by the testosterone derivative on LVP was not inhibited in the presence of prazosin or metoprolol. Each bar represents the mean ± SE of 9 experiments. LVP: left ventricular pressure.
