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.
