Figure 3. Coronary artery wall lactate/pyruvate ratio.
Microdialysis catheters within the coronary artery wall sampled metabolites during the experiments. The lactate/pyruvate ratio increased during hypoxia. #P < 0.05 versus corresponding condition during initial oxygen time period. No blockade: n = 5; ITU, EHNA: n = 8; ITU, EHNA, NBTI: n = 6.
