Metrics of impedance (Z0, ZC, RW) for CTL (n = 6) and HPH (n = 5) mouse lungs in the baseline SMC tone state and with Y27632

Z0, mmHg · min · ml−1
ZC, mmHg · min · ml−1
RW (dimensionless)
CTL HPH CTL HPH CTL HPH
Baseline 2.1 ± 0.4 4.0 ± 0.7* 0.21 ± 0.01 0.194 ± 0.009 0.81 ± 0.05 0.91 ± 0.01*
Y27632 1.5 ± 0.2 2.2 ± 0.2* 0.22 ± 0.01 0.187 ± 0.005* 0.73 ± 0.03 0.84 ± 0.02*

Values are means ± SD. Z0, 0-Hz impedance; ZC, characteristic impedance; RW, wave reflection; CTL, control; HPH, hypoxic pulmonary hypertension; SMC, smooth muscle cell.

*

P < 0.05 vs. CTL;

P < 0.05, for change from baseline to Y27632.
