Urocortin-1 recovers the hemodynamic function of Langendorff perfused rat hearts submitted to I/R. (A) Graph shows summary data of the contractility expressed as +dP/dt (%) in hearts subjected to ischemia/reperfusion protocol (I/R, full circle, n = 5), and in hearts treated with 10 nM Ucn-1 (+Ucn-1, open square, n = 5). Ucn-1 was applied 5 minutes before ischemia ends and during the first 30 minutes in reperfusion as indicated by area in grey. (B) Shows summary data of the left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP, mmHg) in the same conditions as in “A”. (C) Bar graph shows the changes in the mean of vascular resistances (VR, mmHg*min/ml). Values were taken 60 minute after reperfusion and were normalized to controls’ values. Data are means ± S.E.M. “*” and “**” indicate significance at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 of I/R vs +Ucn-1.
