TABLE 3

Maximal responses (Emax) and potency (pEC50) values derived from concentration–response curves to tadalafil (0.0001–10 μM) and 8-Br-cGMP (0.003–100 μM) in urethra smooth muscle from lean and obese mice.

Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. (n = 5–8). Values of Emax are represented as percentage.
