Quantitative data for β-adrenoceptor density in normal hearts, failing hearts, sham-operated failing hearts and BMSC transplanted failing hearts, given for left ventricle, septum and right ventricle as MEANS ± SEM of n = 6 hearts in each group. Significant differences versus normal hearts are indicated by a * (p < 0.05), while significant changes versus sham-operated hearts are indicated by a # (p < 0.05). Corresponding data for KD (septum, left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV)) were: 37 ± 3, 35 ± 4, 42 ± 3 (controls), 48 ± 6, 44 ± 6, 48 ± 7 (doxorubicine), 47 ± 5, 46 ± 6, 48 ± 9 (sham operated hearts), 42 ± 9, 53 ± 8, 57 ± 14 (BMSC transplanted hearts); there were no significant differences between the KD values.
