Fig. 9. The effects of hypoxia followed by electrical stimulation (30 V and 8 Hz)
on (A) noradrenaline (unfilled bars), adrenaline (filled bars) and total
catecholamine (sum of noradrenaline + adrenaline) and (B) nitric oxide (NO)
secretion rates in untreated preparations (N=6; no cross-hatching)
and in preparation treated with saponin (N=6; cross-hatched bars).
Values are means ± 1 S.E.M. A dagger denotes a significant
effect (P<0.5) of hypoxia or electrical stimulation. An asterisk
denotes a significant difference (P<0.5) between the control and
the saponin-treated group.
