Figure 2From: Effects of selective β1-adrenoceptor blockade on cardiovascular and renal function and circulating cytokines in ovine hyperdynamic sepsisIn ovine hyperdynamic sepsis atenolol did not cause further hypotension. Mean arterial pressure and total peripheral conductance during a 24-hour baseline period and during 24 hours of sepsis induced by intravenous administration of E. coli in a control group and a group treated with atenolol from 8 to 24 hours of sepsis. Mean ± SEM, n = 8/group.Back to article page
