Figure 5

Heart rate (HR) and systolic arterial blood pressure (ABP) in animals ventilated at 25 cmH2O airway pressure only (HV25-sham), or associated with vagal stimulation (HV25-stim) or a specific antagonist of the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, methyllycaconitine (MLA) (HV25-stim/MLA), or without vagal stimulation but pre-treatment with the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist PNU (HV25-PNU). *p<0.05, ** p<0.01; *** p<0.001 versus HV25-sham.
