Fig. 9. 5-HT induced rise in EOD repolarization time (
-P2) versus
rise in amplitude, expressed as a percentage of the daynight swing,
illustrates how the serotonin-induced changes in repolarization time and
amplitude are semi-independent. Note that most of the data fall above the 1:1
ratio (broken) line, indicating that both variables may change or
repolarization time may change alone, but amplitude never changes without a
change in repolarization time. Values shown are for males injected with 5-HT
doses 0.75 nmol g-1 and higher.
