IBMX, a non-selective PDE inhibitor significantly decreases the liver glycogen storage (mg/g, IBMX 22±1.5 P<0.001). In comparison with the control group, IBMX and mc5 significantly increase plasma glucose (blood glucose, mg/dl, control=141±3, IBMX=210±17 P<0.001 and mc5=191±13 P<0.01) while other test compounds (mc1, mc6, MCPIP and Win 47203) do not produce significant effect (control=141±3, mc1 160±7, mc6 175±9, MCPIP 179±8 and Win 47203 116±2 P>0.05) also mc2 does not change plasma glucose (control=141±3 and mc2=145±5). IBMX has the highest efficacy on increasing plasma glucose. Treatments with IBMX and Apocynin significantly decrease cold-induced elevation of right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure (23.5±1.8 and 24.2±0.6 mmHg, respectively) although they do not decrease RV pressure to the warm control levels. IBMX or Apocynin significantly reduces medial layer thickness (19.0±0.9, and 16.9±0.8 μm, respectively) and increases lumen diameter (62.7±4.2, and 59.5±4.3 μm, respectively) of small PAs in cold-exposed rats.
