Differential sGC responsiveness within microdomains of normal and hypertrophied hearts
| Relative Response | Cav3+LR | NLR | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sham | TAC | Sham | TAC | |
| BAY 60-2770: DEA/NO | 1.0 | 0.6 | 3.5 | 17.4 |
Relative response ratios were calculated using the % change in cGMP levels within respective microdomains of Sham and TAC hearts. Values are normalized to the response ratio of Sham Cav3+LR fraction. Increasing BAY 60-2770:DEA/NO ratios reflect enhanced response to BAY 60-2770 and diminished response to DEA/NO, resulting from heme-oxidization of sGC.
