Fig. 7. The effects of methoxycarbonyl-etomidate (MOC-etomidate), propofol, and etomidate on mean blood pressure (BP) in rats. Drugs were given at doses equal to twice their respective ED50s for loss of righting reflex. Drug was injected at time 0. Each data point represents the average (± SD) change in mean blood pressure from three rats during each 30-s epoch. The inset shows a representative arterial blood pressure trace before drug administration.
