Basal and reflexive MAP and HR responses after arterial injection of capsaicin

	MAP, mmHg		HR, beats/min
	Baseline	Peak	Baseline	Peak
0.5 μg
Sham-operated control	84±2	93±2	410±18	412±19
Arterial occlusion	97±8	130±11*	405±21	409±21
1.0 μg
Sham-operated control	92±7	121±8*	413±23	414±23
Arterial occlusion	95±5	143±8*	415±15	418±15

Values are means ± SE; n = 8 animals in control and 9 animals in femoral artery occlusion. MAP, mean arterial pressure; HR, heart rate. There is no significant difference among basal values.

^*P < 0.05 vs. baseline.
