Figure 3.

Recovery of force of contraction of isolated human right atrial trabeculae at the end of the 60-min reoxygenation period after the 30-min hypoxic challenge in groups exposed to Desflurane 6% (Des) alone, exposed to adenosine (ADO) alone or in presence of SPT, MPG; exposed to bradykinin (BK) alone or in presence of HOE, MPG. Control and Des groups are the same that presented in figure 2. Data are mean ± SD. *P < 0.0001 vs. control, ADO + SPT, ADO + MPG, BK + HOE, BK + MPG. ADO: adenosine, BK: bradykinin; Des: desflurane; HOE: HOE 140; MPG: N-mercaptopropionylglycine; SPT: 8-(p-Sulfophenyl) théophylline.
