Ventilation, release of 3H-CA and cAMP in control, hyperoxic and hyperoxic diet supplemented hyperoxic rats
A, minute ventilation in different atmospheres (as drawn) in control, hyperoxic and hyperoxic supplemented rats. B, release of 3H-CA from the CBs of rats of same experimental groups elicited by hypoxia and high external K+. C, normoxic and hypoxic (10 min of incubation with 7% O2 equilibrated atmosphere) cyclic AMP levels in the CBs of rats of the same three groups. Data are the mean ± SD of 12–16 individual values. In every case, statistical comparisons have been made comparing data obtained in CBs from the two different experimental groups (hyperoxic and hyperoxic supplemented) with the control group. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. C, +P < 0.05 and +++P < 0.001 vs. control hypoxic.
