Fig. 3. Comparison of heart rate in intact (black bars) and
cardioregulatory-denervated (grey bars) Homarus americanus. Values
are the differences between the mean value of the control period and the value
at t20 during the perfusion of a solution of 2.4 nmol
min–1 g–1 body mass of adenosine or adenine
nucleotides. t20 corresponds with the end of the infusion.
Data are presented as means ± s.d. An asterisk denotes a value
significantly different from the control value (P
0.05).
[N=9 (intact) and 10 (cardioregulatory denervated) for adenosine; 7
and 5 for AMP; 6 and 0 for ADP, and 6 and 9 for ATP.]
