Fig. 2. Effects of bolus intra-arterial injections of ET-1 on the maximum change in
mean arterial systemic and pulmonary pressures, (A) Psys
and (D) Ppul, respectively; systemic and pulmonary blood
flows, (B)
sys and (E)
pul; systemic and pulmonary
vascular conductances, (C) Gsys and (F)
Gpul as a function of the amount of peptide injected. Data
points show means ± S.E.M. for eight (systemic variables)
and six (pulmonary variables) individual experiments. The asterisks denote a
significant difference (P<0.05) from the pre-injection value.
