Figure 5


Fig. 5. Dose-dependent changes in fictive lung and buccal burst frequency during application of increasing concentration of the {alpha}1-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (Phe). Phe application was followed by a 30-90 min wash-out period. (A) Data expressed as a percentage change from lung baseline values, and (B) data expressed as a percentage change from buccal baseline values. In A, lung burst frequency responses were measured in pre-(triangles; N=6) and metamorphic tadpoles (squares; N=12), and adult frogs (circles; N=10). For fictive buccal burst frequency responses (B), mean data were obtained in pre-(N=8) and metamorphic tadpoles (N=13), but not in adult frogs (N=1). Adults were excluded from the statistical analysis since the number of replicates was too low; for this group, data are displayed without error bars. Values are expressed as means ± s.e.m. *Values statistically different from baseline at P<0.05. **Values statistically different from baseline at P<0.10. {dagger}Values statistically different from corresponding values from the pre-metamorphic group at P<0.05.
