Table 1.
Membrane potential (Em) determinations in 100–300-μm-diameter pulmonary arteries of normoxic and hypoxic piglets from the 10-day exposure group measured at transmural pressures of 11 and 18 mmHg
Group | Transmural pressure, mmHg | n | Mean Em ± SEM, mV |
---|---|---|---|
10-day normoxic | 11 | 23 | −55 ± 1 |
10-day normoxic | 18 | 5 | −58 ± 1.5 |
10-day hypoxic | 11 | 6 | −51 ± 0.8a |
10-day hypoxic | 18 | 18 | −49 ± 1a |
Significantly different () from normoxic piglets at both 11 and 18 mmHg.
