Fig. 6. Summarized data for the effects of bisindolylmaleimide I (BIS) on propofol-induced changes in tension and [Ca2+]i(340/380 ratio) in ionomycin-pretreated pulmonary artery smooth muscle (PASM) strips. Propofol increased tension in a dose-dependent manner with a slight concomitant decrease in [Ca2+]i(*P < 0.05 vs.  baseline). Pretreatment with BIS attenuated the propofol-induced increases in tension and decreases in [Ca2+]i(†P < 0.05 vs.  control). Results are expressed as percentage changes relative to response to 60 mm KCl. n = 6, each.
