From: Effects of stachydrine on norepinephrine-induced neonatal rat cardiac myocytes hypertrophy and intracellular calcium transients

Figure 4

Effects of STA on Ca 2+ transients changes induced by NE. (A) Representative calcium transient tracings from cardiac myocytes in NE-treated (NE), NE plus CAR-treated (NE + Car), and NE plus STA-treated (NE + Sta) cells. (B) Baseline of diastolic fura-2 ratio. (C) Peak systolic fura-2 ratio. (D) Ca2+-transient decay-constant. These data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. n = 20. *P < 0.05 versus control, #P < 0.05 versus NE. NE: norepinephrine, CAR: carvedilol, STA: stachydrine, SERCA2a: cardiac sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase.
