Norepinephrine levels in normal and infarcted animals

	Baseline	BSGS	Baseline	BMCGS
Normal pigs (CS)	0.38 ± 0.09	8.70 ± 2.28*	0.54 ± 0.16	13.73 ± 4.47*
Normal pigs (IVC)	0.58 ± 0.22	1.52 ± 0.29*	0.55 ± 0.07	1.61 ± 0.29*
Infarct pigs (CS)	1.35 ± 0.41	7.47 ± 1.48*	1.79 ± 0.51	7.83 ± 2.16*
Infarct pigs (IVC)	1.97 ± 0.54	2.53 ± 0.28	1.89 ± 0.46	3.78 ± 0.95*

Values (in ng/ml) are means ± SE. CS, coronary sinus; IVC, inferior vena cava; BSGS, bilateral stellate ganglion stimulation; BMCGS, bilateral middle cervical ganglion stimulation.
