Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) over the 16 weeks of study. (A). HR increased over time in both FA- and SHS-exposed groups. There was no exposure effect. (B). SHS exposure lowered systolic BP (SBP) during the light cycle. (C). Diastolic BP (DBP) initially was higher in the SHS group after 4 weeks of exposure but subsequently dropped to below those of FA. The SHS group had significantly lower DBP in the light cycle 4 weeks after recovery from SHS exposure. (D). Pulse pressure (PP) was significantly lower in the SHS group that lasted for all three light cycles but recovered after the 4-week recovery period. Significant main effects from two-way ANOVA tests are indicated with “+”. *p < 0.05, FA vs. SHS. Numbers in parentheses indicate sample sizes.
