Using the isolated rat heart, we found that the reduction of left ventricular pressure (LVP), rate-pressure product, and maximal values of the first derivative of LVP elicited by hrSTA-CgA(1-78) at 33 nM is abolished by blocking G(i/o) proteins with pertussis toxin, scavenging NO with hemoglobin, and blocking NOS activity with N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine or N(5)-(iminoethyl)-l-ornithine, soluble guanylate cyclase with 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole-[4,4-a]quinoxalin-1-one, and protein kinase (PKG) with KT5823.
