Table 1. Wild type Mice; Hemodynamic Profile in Response of β-arrestin 2 Biased AT1R Agonist.

End-systolic pressure (ESP) was decreased significantly after TRV120023 (TRV) and losartan infusion. Cardiac contractility, Ees and Emax was increased significantly in TRV120023 100 μg · kg−1 · min−1 infusion group. (* p < 0.01; †p<0.05; ‡p< 0.001; n=5–6/group). p values reflect comparisons with basal condition within the same treatment group with the use of 1-way ANOVA. Cardiac contractility parameters were derived using an aortic constriction protocol. AT1R, ANG II type 1 receptor; HR, heart rate; EDP, end-diastolic pressure; ESV, end-systolic volume; EDV, end-diastolic volume; Ees, end-systolic elastance; EF, ejection fraction; Emax, maximal elastance; dP/dtmax and dP/dtmin, maximum and minimum rate of pressure change in the ventricle, respectively; τ, isovolumic relaxation constant.
