mPAP, mPAP/mAP, RV/LV + S, and sRVP. The left column (MCT21) shows rats in the MCT21 group. The middle column (CH) shows rats in the CH group (rats exposed to chronic hypoxia for 14 days). The right column (MCT28) represents rats in the MCT28 group. A, B: Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP); C: Systolic right ventricular pressure (sRVP); D, E: Ratio of mPAP to mean artery pressure (mPAP/mAP); F–H: Right ventricle (RV) weight-to-left ventricle + septum (LV + S) weight ratio (RV/LV + S), sRVP under anesthesia, and RV/LV + S were measured in rats 28 days after the injection of monocrotaline (MCT28). We measured systolic right ventricular pressure (sRVP) in MCT28 rats under anesthesia instead of mPAP, because obtaining mPAP is technically difficult. (n) = number of rats, means ± SE. The number in parentheses is the number of rats in which mPAP was successfully measured
