Fig. 2.  The ventilatory (VE, A ), frequency (f, B ), and tidal volume (VT, C ) responses to N2of 10 s before and after microinjecting different [D-Ala2, N-MePhe4, Gly-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO) doses into the commissural subnucleus of the nucleus tractus solitarius. Note: All the respiratory variables (VE,f, and VT) during the brief period of hypoxia were significantly higher than baseline values except those after 2.5 mM DAMGO microinjection. n = 8 in each group; data are presented as means ± SE; P  values less than 0.05 are presented exactly with the exception that *=P < 0.05 compared with other DAMGO concentrations, whereas those more than 0.78 are not presented.
