Heart rate variability (HRV) and BP regulation over the 16 weeks of study. SHS-exposed mice had significantly lower short-term (A1) and overall (A2) HRV during dark cycles. Four weeks after the cessation of SHS exposure, there was no difference in HRV between the FA- and SHS-exposed groups. (B). Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) was reduced in the SHS-exposed group only during the first dark cycle. (C). There was no significant SHS exposure effect on SBP variability. RMSSD, root mean square of successive differences; SDNN, standard deviation of normal-to-normal RR intervals; SBP-SD, standard deviation of SBP. Significant main effects from two-way repeated ANOVA tests are indicated with “+”. *p < 0.05, FA vs. SHS. Numbers in parentheses indicate sample sizes.
