| 32 °C | 26.7 ± 4.70 | 15.5 ± 0.753 | 2.01 ± 0.819 | 0.724 ± 0.206 |
| 28 °C | 22.4 ± 6.36 | 24.3 ± 5.58 | 1.93 ± 1.11 | 0.851 ± 0.281 |
| 24 °C | 29.2 ± 4.72 | 25.2 ± 6.57 | – | 0.502 ± 0.315 |
| 20 °C | 31.0 ± 9.47 | 39.4 ± 10.9* | – | 0.388 ± 0.070 |
Values are mean ± SEM and given in µM. * Significant difference (p-value < 0.05), when compared to normothermic baseline. No inhibition of ABCC4-activity was detectable below 28 °C
