Figure 2

In vivo effects of androgen on the coronary circulation in conscious swine. Percent change in left anterior descending coronary conductance from baseline for intact, castrated, and testosterone replaced males during infusions of (a) Testosterone, (b) 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and (c) Epitestosterone (n = 2 for intact, n = 1 for castrates, n = 1-2 for hormone replaced). Values are mean ± SEM. The testosterone and epitestosterone infusions demonstrate a trend for increased coronary conductance in the intact males compared to the castrated and hormone replaced males.
