Figure 7From: Effects of two atypical neuroleptics, olanzapine and risperidone, on the function of the urinary bladder and the external urethral sphincter in anesthetized ratsMean arterial pressure changes as a result of olanzapine and risperidone. Both of these drugs caused a marked drop in mean arterial pressure (MAP), with risperidone having a larger effect than olanzapine. All doses of risperidone resulted in significant decreases in MAP, whereas only the highest dose of olanzapine (1.0 mg/kg) caused a significant decrease in MAP. * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01.Back to article page
