Figure 3From: Increased susceptibility to cardiovascular effects of dihydrocapcaicin in resuscitated rats. Cardiovascular effects of dihydrocapsaicin Blood temperature (A) and respiration rate (B) in healthy conscious rats. Following baseline characterization animals were infused at t = 0 with vehicle control for 1 hour followed by incremental doses of DHC of 1.0; 2.0; 2.2; 2.4; and 3.0 mg/kg/hr for 1 hour at each condition. Statistics: Each of the doses of DHC were compared to the vehicle control situation by a 1-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test ***p > 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. Values are expressed as average ± SE, with n = 6, see Methods for further details.Back to article page
