Figure 2 Comparison of the effect of lipopolysaccharide treatment for 12 h on the concentration-dependent inotropic response of failing and nonfailing left ventricular myocardial preparations to isoprenaline. (A) This shows the inotropic response to isoprenaline after incubation of myocardial preparations in normal tyrode (control); (B) shows the inotropic response to isoprenaline after incubation in tyrode supplemented with lipopolysaccharides (Endo, 1 µg/ml). Data are given as mean ± SEM.
