Table 5.

Percentage changes in APD in subEpi and subEndo cardiomyocytes after FCCP application in addition to 4-AP (2 mmol/L) (n = 4 for each).

APD20 (%) APD50 (%) APD90 (%)
subEpi
4-AP 26.3 ± 1.2#,* 24.0 ± 2.0#,* 19.2 ± 1.3#,*
FCCP↑ 2.2 ± 0.9# 4.4 ± 0.4#,* 6.3 ± 0.1#,*
FCCP 2.5′ –56.9 ± 1.8#,* –56.4 ± 1.5#,* –47.6 ± 1.1#,*
FCCP 5′ –83.3 ± 0.9# –84.4 ± 0.6# –79.7 ± 0.4#
subEndo
4-AP 15.3 ± 1.9* 16.7 ± 2.6* 14.8 ± 1.8*
FCCP↑ 5.5 ± 0.6 10.1 ± 0.1 11.9 ± 0.1
FCCP 2.5′ –26.9 ± 0.8 –29.8 ± 1.2 –24.5 ± 0.4
FCCP 5′ –55.3 ± 2.6 –58.1 ± 2.7 –52.4 ± 2.6

Note that the depths of microelectrode insertion for subEpi and subEndo recordings were 0.48 ± 0.3 and 3.1 ± 0.2 mm from the epicardium, respectively. The positive/negative percentages show the prolongation/shortening of APs, respectively. Other notations are the same as in Table 1. p < 0.05 with 4-AP vs. without 4-AP (see Table 3) values obtained at the same time of FCCP action. #p < 0.05 subEpi vs. subEndo values obtained with 4-AP and at the same time of FCCP action.
