Fig. 6. Cardiovascular responses to adenosine (Ado) injections (at time zero) on
(A) heart rate (fH), (B) ventral aortic blood pressure
(PVA) and (C) dorsal aortic blood pressure
(PDA) in control (, N=7) and
aminophylline-treated (
, N=6) sharks. All values are mean
± S.E.M. Time-dependent changes were tested using repeated
measures ANOVA with Dunnet post-test. Lines indicate the time periods that
differ significantly from the last normoxic value (P<0.05). A
significant ANOVA between aminophylline-treated and control sharks in response
to adenosine injections is indicated by an asterisk.
