TABLE 1.
Variable | Rate of tension loss, g/min |
---|---|
Mean (SD): | |
Carrier (DMSO) | 0.052 (0.017) |
1 μm CNP | 0.087 (0.012)* |
1 μg/mL sialorphin | 0.072 (0.018) |
1 μm CNP + 1 μg/mL sialorphin | 0.13 (0.014)* |
The mean (SD) rate of tension loss was measured from four corporal smooth muscle strips from four different rats.
A significant increase in rate of tension loss (P < 0.05, Student’s t-test) compared with strips treated with carrier alone.
