Figure/Graphic 3: Hypoxia
Panels A und B show all genes regulated significantly during experimental myocardial ischemia (hypoxia) in the presence and absence of either atenolol or nebivolol. Panel A (red) summarizes all genes down-regulated by nebivolol compared to those up-regulated by atenolol during hypoxia. N2 control indicates gene expression in ischemic preparations without betablockers. N2 nebivolol indicates gene expression in the presence of nebivolol in ischemic preparations. The red and green lines indicate the direction of gene regulation. On the left side of panel A, N2 atenolol represents genes upregulated under atenolol during hypoxia. Panel B, accordingly, shows all genes up-regulated by nebivolol which are down-regulated by atenolol (N2 control here also representing non-treated controls).
