BPM: beat per minute. Tail Cuff: Control; n = 10, Thyroxin (T4); n = 21, Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); N = 6, Sorafenib; n = 13, TadalafilIP (intraperitoneal, 1 mg/kg); n = 7, TadalafilOr (oral, 4 mg/kg); n = 8, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC); n = 10, MacitentanLD (Low dose: 30 mg/kg); n = 10, MacitentanHD (High dose: 100 mg/kg); n = 8. Echocardiography: Control; n = 22, T4; n = 34, DMSO; N = 14, Sorafenib; n = 13, TadalafilIP; n = 22, TadalafilOr; n = 8, CMC; n = 10, MacitentanLD; n = 10, MacitentanHD; n = 8. Electrocardiogram Analysis: Control; n = 7, T4; n = 12, DMSO; N = 6, Sorafenib; n = 9, TadalafilIP; n = 7, TadalafilOr; n = 8, CMC; n = 10, MacitentanLD; n = 9, MacitentanHD; n = 7.
*: indicates a significant change as revealed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett Multiple Comparisons post-hoc test, comparing all groups to T4.
