Table 3. Systolic (SBP, mmHg) and diastolic (DBP, mmHg) blood pressure and heart rate (HR, bpm) determination in the control (CT) and post-weaning protein malnutrition (Malnutrition) adult rats.

	CT (N = 10)	MALNUTRITION (N = 10)
SBP (mmHg)	102±4.8	118±4*
DBP (mmHg)	54±4	72±5.8*
FC (bpm)	302±9	328±11*

Values are expressed as the means ± SEM.
