Table 1. Effect of PDE3 and PDE4 inhibition on -(dP/dt)max.
Saline-treated, mmHg/s (n) | PTX-treated, mmHg/s (n) | |
---|---|---|
WT | -1491±467 (8) | 890±534 (11)a |
AC5KO | -1686±698 (7) | 844±576 (7)a |
AC6KO | -2488±357 (9) | -1656±439 (9)b |
Shown are the differences (mean±SEM) between the -(dP/dt)max recorded after timolol and after subsequent cilostamide and rolipram (Cil/Rol). Note that in PTX-treated mice, Cil/Rol increased the -(dP/dt)max after timolol in WT and AC5KO but decreased it in AC6KO. In contrast, Cil/Rol decreased the -(dP/dt)max in all groups that were saline-treated. Data are given in mmHg/s (mean±SEM).
a P<0.05 Saline vs PTX in respective group, two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test;
b P<0.05 AC6KO PTX vs WT PTX and AC5KO PTX, two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
