The effects of ANOE on the heart contractile activity in K-depleted medium.

The control (K 100%) represents the contractile force (CF) and heart rate (HR) recorded in normal Mac-Ewen physiological solution. In this experiment ANOE was used in the single concentration of 0.1µg/ml. Ordinate: CF is expressed in millimetres, while HR is given as the number of contractions/minute. Abscissa: super-fusion media. Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 15). For CF: **, P < 0.01 for K 50% vs control; and ###, p < 0.001 for K 50% vs K50% + ANOE. For HR: ***, P < 0.001 for K 50% and K 50% + ANOE vs control; and ###, P < 0.001 for K 50% vs K 50% + ANOE
